[English] BADEN POWELL RECEIVED BY THE QUEEN

BADEN POWELL RECEIVED BY THE QUEEN

The Hague, Yesterday.

Following the conclusion of the International Boy Scout Jamboree at Vogelenzang, the Chief Scout, Lord Baden-Powell, and his wife, who is Chief Girl Guide, were received by Queen Wilhelmina in private audience.

A resolution passed at the last session of the Boy Scout conference outlines the aims of the Scout movement, as set down by Lord Baden-Powell.

The resolution, which stresses that the chief aim of the organisation is the physical training of youth and the promotion of a sane nationalism, is prominently featured and favourably commented upon in the Dutch newspapers.

WITHOUT CREED OR RACE

The resolution asks the international Scout committee to do everything in its power to ensure the promotion of the Scout movement in a spirit of international cooperation without regard to creed or race.

The resolution severely criticises the trends towards militarism of the movement or permeation of the movement with political tendencies, since such might easily lead to conflicts within the movement and would moreover jeopardise the success of the efforts for maintenance of peace and goodwill among nations. - Trans-Ocean.
