Cu

»s and Scouts

BY JEAN MYERSCOUGH

Now that the light nights are with us and summer is fast ap- proaching,. the: Cub’ and Scout calendar is being filled with numerous activities. The normal weekly meetings are, of course, still being held although at- tendance at the Cub meetings seems to drop at this time of year with the attraction of Little League Baseball matches held on the same evenings.

On May 9 the District Cub Rally was held at Centennial Park: The Cubs” enjoyed themselves . climbing and crawling through 12 obstacle courses. Proceeds from the concession at this Rally will go towards financing local Scouts who are attending the Worid Jamboree in Japan. The. two Scouts chosen from this area are Raymond Little and Bill Akam. Both Scouts who: were latterly with the Deep Cove Group, now are in the Sidney Scout Group. Bill Akam, aged 15, must be congratulated on having just received the Gold Citizen Badge and Gold Chain. This is about the highest achievement which can

be gained by a Scout of his age.

Last Thursday, “A” Cub’ Pack went swimming to Naden Pool, and a visit to the Provincial . Museum is on the agenda for the near future. ‘“‘B” Pack’s .ac-

tivities last. week included

and a visit to the Museum. This coming Thursday, ‘“B’’ Pack leaders are hoping to take the Cubs to Brackenhurst Farm for a guided tour. They will also have a weiner roast and a nature hike on the farm, so let’s hope the weather is good.

Cub Camp is being held this year at Sidney Spit, on June 4, 5 and 6. Some help is needed for transportation of Cubs and camping equipment, to and from the Spit. if anyone has a suitable boat and is willing to help on the Friday and Sunday, please phone Gerry Flint 656-2393. Also. if any parents would like. to help. and attend the Camp, please phone the same number.

The Scout District: Camp is being held this: coming weekend May 22, 23, 24 at Durrance Lake.

From June 28 to July 4. Sidney Scouts will be represented at the Regional Centennial Scout Camp at Beacon Hill Park. Many. ac- tivities are planned for this Camp —. exhibitions of Scout. work, concerts, ball games.

The. Cubs, Scouts, Brownies and Guides of Sidney now have one of the finest. buildings possible in which to hold their

: “Lady of Culzean” _ ‘Mayne island, by: John. ; Borradaile _BY.H.V. GREEN

A pleasing feature of Cen- ‘tennial Year has been an in- tensified interest in the people of - prominence. who . from time to time were. active ‘on the local “scene.
