* Deep Sea Scouts founding - Boy Scouts
* Robert Baden-Powell - Scout Movement
Page 10 has a one column heading: "Deep Sea Boy Scouts Plan Of Baden-Powell" with subhead. (see) I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 64 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. A few small binding slits along the spine, very nice condition.
wikipedia notes: The Deep Sea Scouts (DSS) is a National Scout Active Support Unit of The Scout Association with the aim of connecting Scouting to the sea. It was originally formed in 1928 as an organization enabling young people serving on British ships to participate in Scouting activities. As Scouting matured in the early 20th century, along with its initial members, demands were made for additions to the organization which would enable a continuing participation within the Scout Movement, and the Deep Sea Scouts were one such addition.
