Scouting in New Guinea
p. 62 · Read in the full issue
THIS photograph is of the Ist Port Moresby Rover Crew and the Ist Poreporena Crew both from Port Moresby.
The European Crew started off 3 years ago with a mem bership of six and since that date 42 members have been through the Crew, the present membership of which is 12.
The Poreporena Native Rover Crew has been operating for two years and has a total member ship now of 32. Most of these lads were pre-war Scouts.
In that time Scout troops have been started at Hanuabada, Koki, Gemo Island, Idubada, Sogeri and Fife Bay in Papua and at Rabaul, Lae, Madang and Buin in New Guinea.
There is also a European Scout Troop and Cub Pack in Port Moresby and a strong Cub Pack at Hanuabada. Biggest problem is to provide Scouters for all these sections.
If there are any people in the Territory with previous Scout experience: or people who would like to help with this worth while job, the Association would be pleased to give them assist ance in starting a Scout Troop in their area.
The Association can be con tacted through Mr. W. C.
Groves, DC for P-NG, Educa tion Department, Port Moresby; or Mr. B. Heape, Secretary Local Association, Treasury De partment, Port Moresby.
