LOCAL BOY SCOUTS.

PRINCE OF WALES'S BANNER COMPETITION.

Scouts representing nine troops of Boy Scouts gathered on the Sookumpoo ground on Saturday to compete in the Prince of Wales's Banner, which was presented to the Hongkong Boy Scouts Association for competition among the various troops by His Royal Highness.

The proceedings were carried out under the direction of the Rev. G. T. Waldegrave, Scout Commissioner. The judges were Messrs. C. H. Blason (Honorary Treasurer) and A. White (Honorary Secretary and D. S. M.), with Captain Williams assisting in the ambulance event. Scoutmaster A. Kirk, of the Third Troop, which did not compete, also assisted in the judging.

Following the inspection of the troops, numerous items of scoutcraft were carried out and points were given for punctuality, correctness of kit and personal cleanliness. The programme was most interesting.

The points obtained by the various troops will be announced later.
