John Stewart, CMO Tax Collector Village of Blyth Scout-Guide Week Feb. 20 - 27 was highlighted by a very successful family banquet on Feb. 23, and ended with the Feb. 27 church service at the Blyth United Church. The service began with the Colour Party and the procession of Guiding and Scouting Sections into the church. Scouting flags were carried by: Canadian, Robert Goodall; World Scouting, David Kelly; Scouts Canada, Josh Bruton; Beavers, Jason Young; Cubs, Eric Radford; Scouts, Brent Mason; Venturers, Adam Jackson. Scripture lessons were read by Cub Adam Young and Scout Matthew Goodall. The sermon given by Rev. Ernest Dow was “Why be Positive”. He related his message to the three major benefits derived from involvement with Scouting and Guiding, both for the youth and for the adults. They are respect for authority, the rewards that come from self discipline, and the results that come from teamwork.

Beavers visited the Goderich OPP station March 14 along with the Bayfield Colony.

At a recent meeting the youths enjoyed the challenge of making a free-standing tower with a specific allotment of paper and tape. They had to use their ingenuity and work as a team to accomplish the goal. They have also learned to compile and to decipher codes. As the end of the Scouting year approaches more emphasis will be placed on preparing third-year Beavers to move up to Cubs, and preparing third-year Cubs to move up to Scouts. Scouts almost finished making their canoe paddles. The first opportunity to test them will be April 28-30, when they will canoe on the Gibson MacDonald Route.
