Cu

»s and Scouts

BY JEAN MYERSCOUGH

Now that the light nights are
with us and summer is fast ap-
proaching,. the: Cub’ and Scout
calendar is being filled with
numerous activities. The normal
weekly meetings are, of course,
still being held although at-
tendance at the Cub meetings
seems to drop at this time of year
with the attraction of Little
League Baseball matches held on
the same evenings.

On May 9 the District Cub Rally
was held at Centennial Park: The
Cubs” enjoyed themselves
. climbing and crawling through 12
obstacle courses. Proceeds from
the concession at this Rally will
go towards financing local Scouts
who are attending the Worid
Jamboree in Japan. The. two
Scouts chosen from this area are
Raymond Little and Bill Akam.
Both Scouts who: were latterly
with the Deep Cove Group, now
are in the Sidney Scout Group.
Bill Akam, aged 15, must be
congratulated on having just
received the Gold Citizen Badge
and Gold Chain. This is about the
highest achievement which can

be gained by a Scout of his age.

Last Thursday, “A” Cub’ Pack
went swimming to Naden Pool,
and a visit to the Provincial
. Museum is on the agenda for the
near future. ‘“‘B” Pack’s .ac-

tivities last. week included

al. ManAlaw
o SWI: rat the Cryst Ge araen’

meetings. Many thanks go again

-have continued . to. give their

and a visit to the Museum. This
coming Thursday, ‘“B’’ Pack
leaders are hoping to take the
Cubs to Brackenhurst Farm for a
guided tour. They will also have a
weiner roast and a nature hike on
the farm, so let’s hope the
weather is good.

Cub Camp is being held this
year at Sidney Spit, on June 4, 5
and 6. Some help is needed for
transportation of Cubs and
camping equipment, to and from
the Spit. if anyone has a suitable
boat and is willing to help on the
Friday and Sunday, please phone
Gerry Flint 656-2393. Also. if any
parents would like. to help. and
attend the Camp, please phone
the same number.

The Scout District: Camp is
being held this: coming weekend
May 22, 23, 24 at Durrance Lake.

From June 28 to July 4. Sidney
Scouts will be represented at the
Regional Centennial Scout Camp
at Beacon Hill Park. Many. ac-
tivities are planned for this Camp
—. exhibitions of Scout. work,
concerts, ball games.

The. Cubs, Scouts, Brownies
and Guides of Sidney now have
one of the finest. buildings
possible in which to hold their

to all parents and citizens who

always be a need for. funds to
meet expenses of maintenance,

: “Lady of Culzean” _ ‘Mayne island, by: John. ;

A pleasing feature of Cen-

with whom they’ associated and’
