saying
goodbye
not easy

TERRACE — Vowing ta
return and visit each other,
nine local students and their
Quebec counterparts finally

parted company at the Terrace

airport Saturday.

“It’s very special,
happened,”’ says . 18-year-old
Terrace student Bob Basanti.
“I’s something I. thought
would never happen — having
friends in Quebec,”*

“T definitely want 10 go back” |

to Quebec whenever I] have tite

opportunity.””
~The Terrace students spent a

weck in St.  Gabriel-de-
Brandon, north of Montreal.
before returning here to host
their French-Canadien friends
for a week in the northwest.

"The only thing I can say
is I’m proud to say that be-
fore. being a Quebecer, I
am a Canadian. I don’t

ever want Quebec to be.

apart from Canada.””

Being together that long cre-
ated some strong friendships
and cut through the politics.

Quebec. student’: Jeff. Des-
rachers put it succinclly with
his halting English:

**The only thing I can say is

I'm proud to say that before’

next mouth,

Approximately 25-30 leaders
are needed for beavers, cubs,
scouts, veutures and rovers, The
greatest number of youths arc in-
volved in beavers and cubs, and
range from five to 10 years old.

Girls have recently been ac-
cepled into the scouling move-
ment in Terrace, but only four ex-
perimental divisions are co-ed.

**To be a leader takes time and
patience,’’ said Eric Has‘conen, a
cub leader,

Though most Icaders are
volunteer moms and dads of kids
who are in scouting, any inter-
esled person can become a leader.
For beavers, a leader would need
approximately 15-20 hours of
free tine a month. All groups
shut down for the summer.

In cubs and scouts, there is one
leader for every six kids in a
group, and in beavers, the ratio is
one to five.

The kids are involved in a vari-
cly of projects ranging from
crafts to ‘sport teams” aid of
course, camping trips. Leaders
organize activilies to help their
group members | carn. badges,
showing their proficiency in a
certain activity. .

“It's -- the politicians,”

Basanti explains. ‘“The strug-.-

rest of Canada is between the’
‘politicians. It has nothing to
