BUSH HIKE ENDS.
Impressive Scene in Silent Forest. CHIEF SCOUT’S MESSAGE. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received January 11, 10.50 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. In the silence of the forest at Gilwell Park Lord Baden Powell waited alone before a great camp fire the coming of the Scouts at the end of their long bush hike. The ceremony was admirably stagemanaged. The parties assembled in the trees beyond the camp fire circle, moving in at the appointed time, each with a welcome for the Chief. When all had assembled round the fine, weary but with spirits undaunted and thrilled by their experience in the solitude of the forest, Lord Baden Powell gave a farewell message. He said: “It is the greatest jamboree I have ever • seen, not because -of its numbers, or of the prominence given to Scouting, but because of the wonderful spirit of goodwill and friendship. The jamboree has ended, but the result will go on. Be a friend to all and a brothef to every other Scout. Thus you will help to bring in the Kingdom of God.”
