Nelson Scouts Meet Commonwealth Chief
Scouts from all parts of the Nelson district assembled at Hounsell Circle, Tahuna Beach, to meet the Commonwealth Chief Scout, Sir Charles Maclean. It was a great occasion for scouts and those connected with the movement. Sir Charles not only met scouts and cubs as a group, but spoke to each one individually - a mammoth task considering the crowd.
