B10 Terrace Review — Wednesday, March 14, 1990. ‘Who is... Sandra Wilson? — ‘Sandra, Wilson is the Assistant District ‘Commissioner of Train- ; ing for the Scouting movement > im 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 Beaver, like her brother had been but she’s happily settled in- to Brownies now, _ This year, Sandra says she’s . taking. a bit of a_ breather. Although she doesn’t conduct every . training course. single- handedly, Sandra.takes an active . role in co-ordinating local and regional ° trainers and actively ‘participates -in the training herself. Sandra took the. basic and intermediate training in the form of week-long camps for - - -adults (leaders). - Five years ‘ago, she took the . Trainer I training course. Last year, she and Chris Jennirigs, District President, attended a four-day Trainer II course: at Camp Hughes i in Prince George. Sandra is now qualified to both ‘conduct training programs and to train trainers in the Scouting ‘movement. Last fall, she co- ‘ordinated a weekend workshop at Northwest Community Col- lege for the Wood Badge I. This ‘is the first recognized training Scouting leaders take and it per-. tains to the Scouting program. ‘Wood Badge II is the next level of training for the leaders. in There : ‘are six sponsoring groups for thé Scouting move- ‘ment in the Terrace district: the . United “Church, the Morman Temple, the Rotaty: Club, the. Lions, the Thornhill Fire Department and the Kermode Friendship Centre.
