Scout Week, "February 20 to
i11 not'only mark, the 58th.
ersery of the'Scout Movemeflt
id usher in, a new era•:for
Ing in.Canada.
; more than 320,000 Canadiar,
Cubs, Boy Scouts, Venturers,
rand Scout leaders from'
to coast will see changes in
things from organization to •
ties during the next few .years
the time the Centennial is
Spouting inCanada will be
efts way towarda new look
hing'the, best of past tradi.7.
Akan .the .freshness of the
a the Scout's image is .due
faceslift, Small boys in
pants selling apples andhelp-
the old ladies across the
will be a faded .memory' in
and bey.,ond. In their' places
e boys "Fit, for Service" in a
-age society ---..boys more
I aware of the problems ..fac-
e .communities, in which . they
of this will. come about •
di new programs now being
d by the Boy Scouts of Can-
ed involving nearly every.
of Scouting from national'
gement methods to patrol
duces.
eWolf :Cubs, who arecele
tg their 50th Anniversary this
year, have already revised two
vital areas of .their activities, in-
cluding the. introduction of a new -
proficiency badge scheme in 1965
and a five star scheme last month.
The five star scheme, which re
places the previous twc star system '
was' designed to provide more in-
terest for the older Cub, yet att<
ract new recruits at all levels in
the;eight-ten year Cub age range,
by introducing more challenge to
the Wolf Cub program, By -assign-
ing
assign ing each"star an •equal,"rank,; it
will also eliminate°the need for:i ,
.boy tiiprid'gress, step by; step,'
through the Cub program and
should therefore attract more re-.
cruits at all ages.
Perhaps the most 'exciting chan-
ges in Scouting will come about
in the Boy .'Scout section. A new
program currently. being tested in
the Peterborough area will. eventu .
ally. affect Scout ages, badges,
,patrol;sizes, activities, and .lead=
ership.and training techniques.
If this pilot .project proves succ-
essful, the new Scout program
should be fully, approved for .genes
al adoption throughout the country •
by fall,. 1967.'.., It will mean the
end of strict adherence to a' pre- Set
prOgram beginning oi`.more "boy-
centred" activities . Boyswill have
more opportunity; to persue inter-
ests"of their own,. - within the over.

all Scot* program " have closer
linking with the community, and
be 'encouraged to make greater use
of outside resources, groups and
individuals. For example, Scouts
will take St, John Ambulance first
aid courses, 'Red Cross Swimming
courses, and Royal Lifesaving SOC•
lett' lifesaving courses. ,
One of the major, changes will
be in Scout age. Boys from four-
teen to -seventeen -will g i-3rnto Venc.
curer• sections, leaving the updated
Scout.program for boys .eleven.to
thirteen.
In fact, although there isn't ani
officiai Venturer,program as such,
theoVenturer section has already
been ,established and is .proving ex-
tremely popular. It already boasts
a Membership between 5,000 and
10;000 boys across the country :
a growth unprecedented in the; his-
tory of Scouting in Canada;'
.In the two yearssince the Ven--
turer idea was first put forward;
Venturer groups have: been formed
to encompass such' modern activi-
ties as go -carting, scuba and skin
diving, ham, radio operating,, crim-
inology , ` aircraft gliding and out!
door -sports.. In many cases'the
framework for the grouprh ve,)
beep set up, by ,the boys. themselves
Organized as. they are without
adult interference 'or 'the restrict-
ions of an established program,
the Venturer groupshave under-
lined the need of today's youth for
more independence, responsibility
and recognition.:. Boy Scout. offic
ials are watching .with interest in'
the hope -of using, the developing
trends as a pattern:for an off-
icial Venturer program
The next two years will be in-
teresting'and exciting ones for the
Boy Scouts of Canada. The Boy
Scout Week theme,, "Fit for Serv-
ice" encourages boys to be ready.

The following da y, price went:

Guest speaker, Howard Huctwith,,
Forest,, whonis president of the onr
ario Hog Producers Association.
suggested that farmers should not ..
be afraid of subsidy if this it nec-
essary. He, noted that the CNR :is.
subsidized by government to the
tune of $50 Million a Year, for the
purpose of paying good wages to
• tht,,employees, and to subsidize
industries that ship freight by train.
The shipping industry" : said Hucr
with;"is subsidized in the same
way."
He suggested that the floor price
for hogs should be production cost.
-and that 32 cents was a realistic
figure' at the present time.(Supp-
ort price now is just. $22.95):
"'believe•it is only right and,
reasonable that those who produce
food should be subsidized also.for',
the same'reason for fair -wages,
and profits for the industry," said
Huctwith.
He explained that surveys had
showrw consumers' "have `::no real de- . -
sire vfor cheap food at the expense
of the. farmers,;. "Consumers can
'afford the increase," he 'said,:.
He urged that .government' money
be used for researchinto ways '
to increase efficiency, since cheap
food benefited city. folk as. much
Y
as the farmer. "Farmers' money
would be geared to research the
profit angle," he said.
