Who is... Sandra Wilson?’

“Sandra Wilson is the Assistant

wa District ‘Commissioner of Train-

: ing for the Scouting movement

in: the Terrace: District. Sandra

co-ordinates the training of
leaders and Scouts, including an
upcoming outdoor cooking
skills course in April for leaders
for the whole. northern region
(which stretches from the Yukon
to 100 Mile House).

Sandra first became involved
with the Scouting movement
when her son, Scott, wanted to
join Beavers in 1979. There was
a shortage of leaders at the time,
so Scott could join the group on-

_ ly on the condition that Sandra
become a leader. She was frust-
rated during that first year
because she felt that the leaders

. didn’t have sufficient or proper

training. She could see plenty of
room for improvement, so she

stayed on with hopes for im-

proving that aspect of the

Scouting movement in this dis-

trict. She has since become in-
volved in every aspect of

Scouting.

Scott continued through
Beavers, Cubs and two years of
Scouts. Now 16, he has gone on
to other interests such as karate
and archery. Sandra progressed
to acting District Commissioner
and then spent over three years
as District Commissioner, She
retired from that position last
year.

As she does with all her in-
terests, Sandra gave 110 percent
to her activities with the
Scouting movement. In fact, for
a long time, her husband Bob
answered their phone with the
phrase ‘‘Hello Scouts Canada!’’

Bob himself, was a cub leader
- for three years. Daughter Erin,
age eight, always wanted to be a

power. for special projects and
supplying leaders if there are not
enough parents available.

There are 45 - 50 leaders in
Scouting in this district this year,
and over-500 young people par-
ticipating in Scouting and
Guiding programs, _

Besides the regular weekly
meetings and activities, the
Scouting movement has a
number of activities that it co-
ordinates annually.

-March 30 - April 1 — North-
ern. Regional District, will be
held in Prince George, for the
leaders of the various levels in
Scouting and Guiding. They
hold workshops’ and have
meetings for the different
groups of leaders for the whole
region.

April 7 — District Kub Kar
Rally at the Arena banquet
room. Registration at 11 a.m.
Racing starts at noon. Partici-
pants in the Scouting movement
are given a kit of a block of
wood and wheels and are given
the task of constructing a little

car to race. They have district
run-offs, with first, second and
third place winners going to the
Regional run-offs.

May 6 — Trees for Canada —
The Scouting movement takes

pledges for trees and then plants
the trees, donated by tree
_hurseries or one of the numerous
forestry companies, depending
_on who has the site for the boys
to plant.

Beaveree — a one-day get-
together for all beavers in the
Terrace District. This is where
the boys have the chance to sing
songs, make crafts, play games,
‘eat’ and practise some of the

- Skills they’ve learned during the
year.

May 18 — 21 Totem Trails —~
a weekend camp to be held in
Kitimat this year for everyone in
the Scouting Movement from
the surrounding districts.
