In 1963 the 1st Exeter Air Ranger Flight was registered with Mrs Zella Gibson as Ca.ptain.

Upon Mrs. Hunt- ley's resignation in 1963, Miss McTavish acted in this capacity. From 1964 to 1966 Mrs. Jean Gandon was District Commie- sioner, followed by Mrs. Lux- ton who presently holds this position. This completes the history for the past twenty years. In that time there have been forty- five active leaders and much help and co-operation from many people of the community. To all those who have helped in so many ways during the years, heartfelt thanks is extended. Es- pecially to the members of the Local Association, without whose help Guiding could hardly carry on, and to the Ladies Legion Auxiliary who were the sponsors for the first decade of the organ- ization, and these ladies have never lost their int ere s t in Guiding. Let us look forward to even greater things in the next twenty years and may the flame of Guiding burn brightly in all hearts.
