SCOUT JAMBOREE, 1939—1940
CRIPPLED CHILDREN’S CAMP Commissioner J. E. F. Vogel, when addressing the Dominion executive of Toe H. stated that the Boy Scout Movement was very keen to do a good turn to the Jamboree by a combined effort of the whole of Scouting in this country, and he mentioned that nothing better could be done than to try and arrange for a number of crippled children to come as guests of the Jamboree to a little camp of their own, on the Jamboree site. The difficulty, however, was that Scouters did not feel that they would be able to do full justice to this, as well as to the main camp, unless some assistance could be given in man-power. If Tec H members felt that this was an object worthy of their movement, and would be prepared to run this camp, the Boy Scout Movement would like to give effect to this idea, stated Mr Vogel. It was suggested that the boys should be collected by personal contact by Scouts and Toe H Groups in various parts of the country, and that the personal element should be a predominant note in the camp.
