RECENT SCOUT JAMBOREE’S RESULTS.
[To the Editor of the “China Mail.”]

Sir,- It may be of interest to sympathisers of the Boy Scout Movement in this Colony to know something of the results of the recent Jamboree. Financially there was a loss of $116.43, which may be accounted for by the bad weather conditions which prevailed at the time affecting the attendances at the Concert on both nights. This loss however is far outweighed by great gains in other directions, not least of which is the increased activity on the part of the Scouts themselves, who fully appreciate the interest shown in and support given to their efforts on that occasion.
The Executive of the Hongkong Boy Scouts Association desire to take this opportunity of expressing their grateful thanks to all those who in so many different ways assisted the Jamboree Committee, and especially Mr. B. Wylie for undertaking and carrying out the laborious task of supervising the advertising and printing; Lieut-Commander Stevenson R.N. for acting as Stage Manager; Lieut-Commander Beresford, R.E. and the decorating party from H.M.S. “Tamar”; the members of the “Black Cat Jazz Band” for giving their service gratuitously on both afternoons; Messrs. Moutrie and Co., for the gratuitous loan of two pianos and assistance with the booking; the Hongkong A.D.C. for the loan of scenery; to the Management of the various Hotels, Restaurants, Clubs, Companies etc; for displaying posters and table-cards; and the City Hall Committee and the Tramway Co. for reduced rates.
The Executive also extend their thanks to all supporters and subscribers who have already responded to their appeal and especially to His Excellency the Chief Scout of Hongkong and Lady Stubbs for the great interest shown in so many different ways for their most generous gift of a yacht to the Sea Scouts for training purposes.

Yours etc.,
G.T. WALDEGRAVE, Commissioner.
C. H. BLASON, Hon. Treasurer
A. KIRK, Hon. Jamboree Secretary
A.WHITE, Hon. Association Secretary.
Hongkong, May 8.

近日童軍大會的報告
(《德臣西報》讀者投稿)

各位,相信很多關心本地童子軍運動的人士都會對近日舉行的童軍大會報告感到興趣。財政上我們損失了116.43港元,相信是因為兩晚音樂會舉行時的惡劣天氣影響了入座率。然而,這小小的損失影響不了活動所帶來的莫大得益,大會本身已製造機會讓童軍進行更多活動,童軍們的全情投入亦使公眾投入更多關注及支持。
香港童子軍總會執行委員會現借此機會向為童軍大會籌備委員會提供協助的各界致以衷心感謝。特別感謝衛理先生(Mr. B.Wylie)負責及監督了艱鉅的宣傳及出版項目;感謝史芬生少校 RN皇家海軍 (Lieut-Commander Stevenson)擔任舞台監督;感謝卑斯福少校 RE皇家工兵 (Lieut-Commander Beresford)帶領的添馬艦(HMS Tamar)水手負責了佈置項目;感謝黑貓爵士樂團(Black Cat Jazz Band)於兩日下午提供義務出演;感謝謀得利洋行(Messrs. Moutrie and Co.)免費借出2台鋼琴及協助安排訂座;感謝香港業餘話劇團(Hongkong A.D.C.)借出舞台場景;感謝多間酒店、餐廳、會所、公司管理團隊批准張貼海報及放置桌牌廣告;以及感謝大會堂管理委員會及電車公司(Tramway Co.)提供特惠收費。
執行委員會再次感謝各位本會的支持者及參加者,特別感謝長期關心會務的香港總領袖總督閣下以及司徒拔夫人(Lady Stubbs)捐贈一台遊艇以作海童軍訓練用途。
