Guiding has the same profile as in the past. Mrs. Mamie Kerby: Mrs, Mamie Kerby was a Sunday-school teacher at ‘the : United Church in Terrace just before she became involved j in. the Scouting/Guiding movement in 1956 when she became a Guide Lieutenant. ; Their uniforms consisted of a straight dress with a leather belt, hat with a pin stuck over the left eye on it and a tie also with a pin in the center. Mrs. Kerby’s girls earned badges such as the snowshce, homemakers, and beekeepers. One of her favourite memories is the time that her girls and © herself had an indoor camp in the rec room of her house. They cooked marshmallows in the huge fireplace late into the night, At 4 a.m. they took a hike to the bake shop to it being opened and doughnuts being made. Once the doughnuts were made her girls got to choose one for themselves. Mrs. Kerby has 5 children and 4 were in Scouting and Guiding, she also has one grandchild who, she hopes, will soon join Guides.

She then went on to Guides, then to Rangers, the girls called them the Lone Rangers. Today we call Rangers, Pathfinders. Over the past years the uniforms have not changed much.

Laterviewed by Lea Langilte Mr. Theo Cam: Theo Cam was involved with the Scouting movement in 1953 until 1961 and then again in 1970 to 1972. He was in- volved mainly in Terrace with the 2nd and 5th Terrace groups. Theo was also involved with the 4th Kitimat group for two years. The sponsor for the 4th Kitimat, 2nd Terrace was the Catholic Church, Theo was only involved as a leader, mainly a Cubmaster but also as an assistant Scoutmaster. While he was involved the uniforms for leaders were green shirts, black pants, and.the Stetson hat. Theo started his Wood badge but only completed the first part. His most memorable camp was the joint venture, at Water Lily Bay, between the 4th Kitimat and the 2nd Terrace on April 23, 1958. He was brought into Scouting because of his knowledge of knots, which he learned in the Navy, which he was going to teach to the kids. Two of Theos children were in- volved in the movement as cubs in 1970, The major difference he sees from. when he was involved to now is its profile due to TV and other organizations suchas ‘the Cadets and also because of the lack of leaders. During his. time.the boys had pride in their uniform. The cubs had more pride than the Scouts because of their age. According to Theo, he thinks that the movement isn't relevant enough to today's youth because of the lack of publicity and because of everything else they can choose from such as sports teams, TV, video games and other youth organizations, ~~ Interviewed by Kyle Lindsay SCOUT-GUIDE WEEK Girl Guides ofCanada | . : Guides | | du Canada ; : | sREGEES = pyc 4652 Lazelle, Terrace 635-4997 @® Terrace.
