[English] THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

LONDON, November 24th.

At the Commissioners' dinner to the Boy Scouts' Association, Sir Robert Baden-Powell presiding, Sir Alfred Pickford referred to his recent tour in Australia, South Africa, Kenya, India, Ceylon and Zanzibar, and said that he encountered everywhere the splendid results of the great movement.

Sir Theodore Cook refuted the suggestion that the Dominions were robbing the Mother Country of her best men, but said that many second best men were capable of proving themselves the best men if given the opportunity.

Sir Robert Baden-Powell, replying, thought that the international "jamboree" did much to secure that international brotherhood for which the world was dying.
