At the same time there is no doubt that very careful guidance is necessary to enable them to give and to get full value out of the training not only in the Scoutcraft side of the work but also from the more important moral point of view.
It is to be hoped that many men now in offices will soon see their way clear to assisting with the movement, and thus enable the Association to spread its influence still further.
On October 1st last, the Summer Sea Scout Troop came to an end. It was formed in order to give temporary sea training to a few scouts from each troop during the summer, and was to close at the date above stated. In spite of a keen desire of the Instructor and scouts to continue, it was felt better to keep to the original plan, as when Troops restarted work after the hot weather, Scoutmasters found themselves handicapped by the absence of their smartest scouts with the Sea Scouts. The intention since then has been to organise a permanent Sea Scout Troop, and this will be done so soon as a suitable scoutmaster has been discovered. Meanwhile the thanks of the Association are due to Lt. Beauchamp, R.N. and certain petty officers from H.M.S. Tamar, who with the kind support and consent of Commodore W. Bowden-Smith, C.B.E., R.N. most ably undertook the training of the Sea Scout Patrols last summer.
The thanks of the Association are also due to those kind friends without whose practical help in money few troops could have been started.
Mr. A. J. S. Weyman as Honorary Secretary has carried out most valuable work, and his advice as an old Scout of many years experience is most helpful and greatly appreciated.
