BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.
£ CHIEF WEAKNESS. • years past it has been felt that the chief weakness in the Boy Scout movement has been the fact that when boys reach the ages of 15 or 16 they naturally feel too old to be Boy Scouts and have completed their training, and are lost to the movement. The Chief Scout, Lord Baden-Powell, has now solved this difficulty by forming a new branch of scouting called Hovers. For some time the need of a Hover Crew-in Masterton has been felt, and at last it seems likely that a branch will be formed. The ideals and objects of Hovers are identical with Scouts, only in a more way. A meeting of all youths, say, of 16 and over, who have been Scouts or are .anxious to become Hovers, will bo held in the Scout Den on Sunday afternoon, at 2.30 o’clock, when the principles of KoverinAwill be fully explained by the and Hover leaders who Hive had considerable experix once with Hovering in Wellington and Petone.
