Blyth Scout group
discusses
fundraising
The 1st Blyth Group Committee
met Dec. 5 at the Blyth Public
School. Reports were received from
the Beaver and Venturer sections.
Beavers have almost completed the
investiture of new members. They
have been doing activities and
studies on space programs, and
have covered Chapter 2 of Friends
of the Forest. Venturers are mak
ing plans for their own investiture
and a winter camp Jan. 3-6.
In August 1991, the World Scout
Jamboree will be held in Korea. A
local Chief Scout recipient, Greg
McClinchey, will be attending.
Group Committee has been assist
ing Greg to finance the trip through
local fundraising and sponsor dona
tions. Several fundraising ideas
were discussed, including a district
plan to organize a car rally May 4.
Letters are going to be sent home
to all parents to find out who would
like to participate in this fun day.
The next meeting of the Group
Committee will be at the Blyth
Public School Jan. 9. Parents are
welcome and encouraged to attend.
It is a good chance to acquire better
insight into the opportunities avail
able to their sons through the
scouting program, and at the same
time contribute fresh ideas on how
to make the program even more
valuable and effective.
