Each contingent had its own colours, and when the King enter- ed the riding school with the Duke of Connaught and the Chief Scout, Sir Rober: Baden-Powell, a royal salute was given by dipping the standards.

The Scout officers 'in charge were introduced to the King, who chatted with them and also with

some of the boys.

You will have a very busy time at Wembley and I have no doubt that you will learn more from one week spent there than you could learn in school at home in the course of a whole year. I started to go round the world when I was only about the age of some of you. I was only fourteen, and I can assure you that my experiences have been of the utmost value to me..

I think you know. what he meant and what I mean, namely, that the promises. you made when you joined the boy scouts you ought to keep for the rest of your lives. That will make you better citizens and a credit to the great Empire to which we are all so proud to belong.

Three cheers were given for the -King: the boys raising their hats on their staves, and thê scouta
