III On-t:ir!- o, d, EOY SCOUTS IN HUNGARY. tfXis- - Cy ' giry and, though the war stopped its growth for a time, the movement was reorganized and put on a firm basis In September, 1919. In its earlier stages the Hungarian scout association was, like the German, a organization, but with its it lias rejected the military element and founded Itself on the British and American nonmilitary basis. The dismemberment of Hungary was a severe blow to the progress of the movement inasmuch as more than fiO per cent of the Magyar troops are now in occupied territories. Officers, money and equipment are badly needed. Some of the boy scouts have no money even to purchase shoes, much less scout uniforms. Most of the leaders are professional men or clerks who have a hard enough struggle to earn their own living and yet they devote time and often money to the cause. "We are all the more proud," writes a Hungarian old scout, "that despite hardships "and sufferings, our scouts unfalteringly, with a strong soul and in a real scout spirit, follow the path which leads to our great goal good citizenship and real humanity." The Hungarian boys are particularly anxious to be included in the International Brotherhood of Scouts and offer and bespeak in turn good will, and support in the understanding spirit of true scouting. semi-militar- y A SCOUT.
