Photographs relating to scouting

Three prints show scouts meeting Sir Robert Baden-Powell and two prints inscribed with "North Otago Gate" show a burning structure, and a shovel and pick. One print depicts the obelisk at One Tree Hill.

A 1988 portrait shows ten scouts and four scout leaders in uniform seated with Sallyanne Atkinson. Inscription on reverse reads "office of the Lady Mayoress, Brisbane. Wainoni Trip".
