   Two contingents of Chinese Boy Scouts, one en route to Holland to participate in the Fifth World Scouts Jamboree and the other to Italy on the invitation of Signor Benito Mussolini to take part in the Italian Youth Camp, passed through Hong Kong by the s.s. Conte Verdi yesterday.
   Upon arrival they were met by members of the First Hong Kong (St. Joseph's) Troop under the leadership of Mr. M.G.Lenz, Scoutmaster, who, after exchanging greetings, escorted them round the Colony.
   The Contingent to the Italian Youth Camp went with one party of St. Joseph's Scouts on a shopping tour, after which they took a car ride round Hong Kong.
   The Jamboree Contingent marched with the other party of St. Joseph's Scouts to the Botanic Gardens where they enjoyed themselves, taking pictures of the place. They then went to the St. Joseph's Scouts Headquarters, and after being shown round the school, were invited by the home scouts to light refreshments, following which they took a ride on the Peak Tram and visited Victoria Peak.
