SCOUTS’ COMING OF AGE
JAMBOREE AT WELLINGTON. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Aug. 5. The coming of age of Boy Scout movement was celebrated with a jamboree at the Kilbirnie Stadium on Saturday, when the Governor-General reviewed several thousand Scouts and Girl Guides from the Wellington district and spoke to them on the universal Scout promise of loyalty to God and the King, of helpfulness to other people and of need of allegiance to the tenfold Scout law. The rally synchronised with the world jamboree at Arrow Park, Birkenhead. Every phase of Scoutcraft was demonstrated to the large attendance, which included the Governor-General, Lady Alice Fergusson, and the Mayor and Mayoress of Wellington. As their Excellencies entered the staduim they were met by the Wellington District Commissioner, General Sir Alfred Robin, and led to sets on the stand to the accompaniment of popular Scottish airs played by the Scots College Pipe Band.
