BOY SCOUTS.

DEDICATION OF COLOURS.

A well-attended service was held yesterday morning at St. Andrew's Church, Kowloon, during which the St. Andrew's Troop's colours were dedicated. These comprised a Union Jack, and the Troop's own colours! - St. Andrew's Cross with the Fleur de Lys in centre and name scrolls above and below - and were presented to the Troop by Mr. A. E. Farrell.

There was a good muster and the boys were all smartly turned out, representatives being present from most of the Hongkong Troops.

The dedication service was conducted by the Troop Chaplain, the Rev. Mr. G. E. Arrowsmith.
