Sydney Jamboree

P-NG Scouts at Sydney Jamboree

One of those “not-done” things in Papua-New Guinea, perhaps (where the whiteman’s burden bears heavily), but apparently part of the fun at the Scouts Jamboree at Greystanes, Sydney, in December-January - photo at left (by courtesy of Sydney Morning Herald) shows an Australian Cub-Mistress cutting the hair of a Scout from New Guinea, while a Papuan friend looks on. Below is a photograph (by C. H. Meen) of New Britain Scouts who were part of the large contingent from P-NG. In the centre is Scoutmaster L. Hastings who accompanied them to Sydney. He is not long returned from a World Jamboree in Austria.
