THE BOY SCOUTS MOVEMENT.

The Chief's Visit to China.

Sir Robert Baden Powell is still contributing his interesting articles on his all-world Scout tour for the benefit of the readers of "The Scout." His most recent contribution deals with his visit to Hongkong, and in it he gives particulars of the Scouts in China. It is a remarkable fact that the many movements which have been started in this country for the amelioration of the town-bred lad have been extensively copied in the Far East. That they take quite as much interest as we do in these things is evidenced by the statements made by Sir Robert Baden Powell. Describing his impression he says:- "The Boys' Brigade here are trained and dressed as Scouts, and I was very glad to inspect them at a review which his Excellency the Governor allowed them to hold in the beautiful grounds of Government House. They gave a display of drill and an excellent show of gymnastic work on the parallel bars and vaulting horse. One little point, too, which I noticed, and which told me a good deal, was that their uniform was particularly clean, their haversacks pipe-clayed, and their buckles polished up, so that on parade they looked as smart as paint." - "The People."
