Scout gets
top award
Although weekly Scouting
meetings are not being held during
the summer months, there have still
been some important Blyth
Scouting events taking place.
The Huron District camp at
Benmiller was the highlight of the
Scouting year for all sections,
Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and
Venturers. It was held May 23-25.
Huron District extends from Blyth
to Ailsa Craig and includes Groups
in Clinton, Goderich, Bayfield,
Zurich, Hensail, Exeter, Grand
Bend and Lucan.
Youth, leaders and adult
volunteers from all groups totalled
over 200 at the camp. Tents were
the order of the day. Crafts, games,
campfires, fresh air, lots of food for
hungry participants and a 25 km.
hike for the more adventurous were
enjoyed by all.
On June 8, in Owen Sound, John
Storey received his Chief Scout
Award. This is the highest level of
achievement for youth in the Scout
section. Congratulations Joint!
The presentation was made by
Herb Pitts, National Commissioner
for Scouts Canada, who congratu
lated the youth for their
accomplishments to this point, and
challenged them to strive for even
higher goals through their
community involvement.
The Huron District Basic Water
Training Course was well attended
by 1st Blyth. Scouters Shari
Cartwright and Don Goodall and
youth members Ross Clark and
Derick Doerr participated in the
course, while Lavern Clark and
David Cartwright assisted with the
training. Weather was ideal, and a
lot of skills were learned, which
will be used in turn to teach
canoeing and safety skills, to the
youth.
The next anticipated event of the
summer will be the Canadian
Jamboree to be held in Thunder
Bay, July 12 - 20. Local Scouts
Ross Clark, and Robert Goodall are
looking forward to the event with
their Scout Leader Lavern Clark.
They will be a part of a contingent
of 62 youth and leaders from Huron
District, and part of the 12,000 total
from all across Canada.
Scouters David Cartwright, Don
Goodall and Nancy Hakkers will be

Blyth council briefs
Beer tent gets okay
After hearing a presentation from
Mike McDonald of the Blyth Lions
Club regarding the use of a beer
tent during an upcoming ball tour
hament, Blyth council passed a
motion of acceptance at the June 24
meeting.
The Lions Club asked to place a
tent between the two diamonds,
instead of in Lions Park due to a
conflict with bookings.
Council had no objections to the
tent provided proof was given of
$1,000,000 liquor liability insur
ance.
McDonald also asked council
about the lining of the fields during
a tournament. Clerk-Treasurer John
Stewart said the diamonds are lined
each morning of the tournament.
Any further work can be hired out
by the Lions or done by club mem
bers, he said.
Approval was also given to the
Radford Overloads Hockey Club
for a special occasions permit fcr
