SCOUTS CANADA

Local scout’ s heroism recalled

" Roy scours Association a

The Scouting motto urges its
members to ‘Be Prepared’ and
when disaster struck a joce
home more than 40 years ago, a
Terrace Scouter proved he was
more than ready to deal with the

’ situation,

The near-tragedy occured on
September 23, 1947. Roy Clif-
ford, then 15 years old and a
member of the Ist Terrace
troap, was at home with his
younger brother when the first
floor of the house caught fire.

Understandably frightened
by the blaze, Roy's brother fled
upstairs, Unfortunately, his
clothes were by then aflame and
as a result the drapes and cur-
tains on the upper floor caught
fire,

‘What happened next is
recorded on the Citation for
Decoration subsequently
presented to Roy by the Boy
“Scouts Association of Canada:
“Without the slightest hesita-
tion and showing total disregard
for his own life, intent solely on
rescuing his terrified brother,

TREASURED MOMENTDS of 2 terrifying moment are shown above

courageous act and a-newspaper cllpping noting his imminent trip

these are full to capacity ,
with waiting lists.

This year Guiding celebrates the 100th anniver-
sary of the birth of Lady Baden-Powell, one of
the movements founders. We are looking forward
to our banguets and dessert nights which will be
held with parents present.

One of the main purposes of Gulde-Scout
Week is to be visible in our community, so watch
for us next week as we participate in the
Multicultural Association pot luck supper. All
members will wear their uniforms tomorrow and
aur world flags will fly at City Hall during the
week,

A joint campfire with the Boy Scouts will be

held at Veritas school gym this Friday evening,
Feb. 23. Prior to that, we will also be parading
along Lakelse Ave. from Ottawa St. to the
school,

‘We are very proud of our organization and
look forward to helping young girls become
responsible young women and the good citizens
of tomorrow.

A lot of years have gone by since Lord Baden Powell
founded the Scouting movement. Those years have also
seen the emergence of numerous alternative recreational

pursuits for potential members,

Despite that, however, there is no shortage of young
people enjoying what Scouting has to offer, says the

local District Commissioner,

Pointing out the Tertace/Thormhill area supports |
groups, he said membership currently stood at one
than 200 with that figure expected to climb by a further
20 ih the near future, In‘ addition, approximately 50
adults volunteer their time to help them team the teach

the skills and principles of Scouting.

_ Youngsters can get involved at 6 years ‘of age by join-
ing the Beavers and then progress through the various

levels to eventually: become Rovers,

Although there. is some ‘overlap. between’ groups,
Halvorsen said the average age groups for each level
were: Beavers.6-8: ‘years, Cubs 8- A years, Scouts 11-14
