The German Boy Scouts were not attached to us. They were military. We are unmilitary and non-political-just Boy Scouts and nothing more...

To Verdun and other War-famed forts now reconstructed and equipped with guns that can easily fire into German territory, France has added two more monsters, Hackenberg defending the great industrial city of Metz, and Hochwald near the Rhine within easy shooting distance of Baden. Hackenberg is a marvel of underground mechanics, equivalent to ten dreadnaughts buried in a mountain, connected by poison-gas-tight tunnels and served by miles of subterranean railways on which projectiles and even guns can be rushed from point to point.

When he stepped spryly off the steamer, hailed by Hungarian Scouts who had been forewarned. Lord Baden-Powell was sped to a more than regal abode, an historic tent used by the Magyar conquerors...
...stepped out in kilts, French came in green jumpers, blue shorts and berets. Swart Egyptian Scouts wore fezzes, Irak turned out in sun helmets, Siam sent scouts in black hats displaying a tiger's head. But all proper Scouts in the Jamboree used the distinctive salute* of Lord Baden-Powell's "Boy Scouts of the World." Improper and ill at ease were 800 members of the Mussolini Balilla (substitute for Italy's suppressed Boy Scouts) and 60 Hitler Youth Boys.
