Boy Scouts

From The Chief Scout Yarns - February 8th, 1919

OUR SCOUT NEWSPAPERS

 "Which do you like the best of the lot ?" asked a Scout the other day, when I told him that half my time was taken up -enjoyably, mind you- in reading the different Scout magazines and newspapers.

 Well, that question was a bit of a poser.  A nice row I should get into with all the others if I said that one particular one was the best!  At the same time I can truthfully say that many of them are the best because they go off on to such different lines.  It is a great delight to me to read one from Ceylon, for instance, and to compare it with that from Barbados or Trinidad.  Then I love to read the polite insults hurled at each other by the different houses in the "Gaytonian"   (Harrow County School).
