Boy Scout Movement.

Hongkong is keenly interested in the Boy Scout movement, and for that reason the recent appeal of the Chief Scout, General Sir R. Baden-Powell, for a quarter of a million sterling for a permanent Endowment Fund, should find some measure of support in the Colony. It is realised that the work of the Scoutmasters in the past has been magnificent, but it is perceived that where there is no organised training divergencies of system are bound to creep in. If the scheme meets with the support it deserves it is proposed to give some training in Scout ideals both to boys who are below the present age limits and to young men and lads who are above them. The plan, we observe, is to start work for senior Scouts over 18 and to give them a helping hand at the most critical time of their lives, and it is also proposed to institute, under the most careful safeguards, a branch of junior Scouts between the ages of 9 and 11.
