Carrying out communications by means of despatch riders, signallers, wireless, &c. Guarding and patrolling bridges, culverts, telegraph lines, &c., against damage by individual spies. Collecting information as to supplies, transport, &c. available. Carrying out organised relief measures among inhabitants. Helping families of men employed in defence duties, or sick or wounded. Establishing first aid, dressing, or nursing stations, refuges, dispensaries, soup kitchens, &c., in their club rooms. Acting as guides, orderlies, &c. Forwarding despatches dropped by aircraft. Sea Scouts watching estuaries and ports, guiding vessels in unbuoyed channels, or showing lights to friendly vessels, &c., and assisting coast guards.
