Spreading the Scout Spirit
There are now 340,000 Boy Scouts and 430,000 Girl Guides in Great Britain. The way in which the Scout movement has “ caught on” is one of Ihe miracles of modern times. Although the movement has not yet attained its majority—it celebrates its coming-of-age at. a great jamboree in the North of England next year—there are now 1,711,643 Scouts in training in forty-two different countries. The number in the British Empire is 582,223. In India alone there are over 104,000 Scouts.
