Colin H. Livingstone Backs
Plans for Trip of Two
Hundred Abroad.

Two hundred or more American Boy
Scouts will sail from Philadelphia about
July for a trip through England, IL a
plan advanced by Colin IL. Livingstone,
the head OF the national organization,
is carried out. The sea trip may be
made in a specially chartered steamer,
trip consuming twelve days each way.
Mr.. Livingstone said today that he
thought the passage could be made for
$40 for each boy, and that the expense
abroad would depend entirely upon the
manner of life chosen by the Boy
Scouts and the length of stay. Plans
will be made t. permit the boys to
stay as long as they wish dUring the
summer returning on different vessels.
IT is Mr.. Livingstone's idea that this
trip would result in better mutual IN
erstsnding between the t"o countries,
as we'll as give the BOYS practical edu-
cation.
