A Polish Scout will represent
Scouts in exile; an Indian Scout will speak for Asia, and a Canadian
Scout for North America. Lord
Hampton will speak for Australasian Scouts, and the programme will conclude with a message from Lord Baden-Powell, the Chief Scout.

Written by Jack Henry and Patrick K. Heale
2 - 'Who Broke the Law?'

3 - 'Meet the Arrow'
A new series of detective adventures written by Ernest Dudley
Production by Bill MacLurg
Meet Stephen Arrow - an entirely new radio detective who makes his bow in this evening's edition of 'Crime Magazine.' Arrow is a humorous cynic, with a not always happy penchant for whistling a certain tune. Thus his identity is rather inclined to be revealed.
There will be at least six of these Arrow episodes, and in each of them Arrow himself will tell the story, linking together dramatic episodes.
