A PARTY of 10 Nauruan Boy Scouts arrived in Victoria by the “Triona” on February 22 to undergo a spec ial course of training at Geelong Tech nical College.

This is the second group of lads to be brought to Australia under the scheme devised by the Nauru Adminis tration and Mr. E. Hurst (County Scout Commissioner in Victoria). The natives are trained as teachers in various phases of technical education and are then sent home to carry out instruction in Nauru.
