lutdoor activities for all Beavers

character development by encourag-
ing them to be responsible citizens
of their country. An important part of
the program is-to assist in the spiritu-
al growth of each youth and to
encourage them to participate active-
ly in their own religious community.
Scouting is non-denominational,
with members from a multitude of
religious affiliations. The "Religion
in Life" program is available to
Scouting members of all faiths. The
requirements for the program differ .
in each faith and denomination, and
are prepared nationally by the
churches or religious bodies to suit
their particular needs and customs.
The four stages are the Cub, Scout,
Venturer, and Adult level.
Over the past couple of months
Rev. Ernest Dow has been working
with the 1st Blyth troop on the non-
denominations requirements for the
Scout "Religion in Life" badge.
