BOY SCOUTS.
CAMP AT PURU. j. On Saturday, an advance party of Scouts arrived at Thames to make preparations for the camp at Puiru. On Monday, by the mid-day train, the main body arrived. TSey de-’ trained at Shortland, and made quite a good showing. Two mqtQE ‘ charabancs were crowded witir happy and hearty lads, and soon set off down the coast. The gear fol- < lowed in motor lorries. The site of the camp is near tfie > school, and quite close to the sea. The Scouts had a wet evening for the beginning of the camp, but it apparently took more than a little rain to damp their ardour. The camp is under the command ~of experienced men, and promises to be of great benefit to the boys. * On January 1 and 2 the Camp will / be open to the general public, and on January 2 a sports meeting be ' held. /'
