Taisho 9 Postcard - needs some assistance with translation

[weiji2001]

This postcard shows a military event. I can read the date on the left (16 May 1920, o Taisho 9), but can't quite make out the heading describing the event.

I'd appreciate the forum's help!

Regards,
Marc

Actually, that's not a military event. It indeed shows a militaristic atmosphere of the era, though.

poem on the lower right corner
明治天皇御製
世の中の人に
おくれをとりぬへし
すゝまぬ*時に
すゝまざりせば
If you don't go forward when you should, you will fall behind people in the world.
Written by the Emperor Meiji

* This is a typo. It sould be すゝまむ.

I am very grateful. I quite misjudged what it showed. Pleased to know what it actually is.

Correction:
Gakuyō Boy Scout was actually founded in Numazu city, Shizuoka prefecture. Sorry for my miswriting.
