C 1 -, bs, Scouts attend Carnporee Our cub pack and scout troop attended the Huron District camporee this past weekend. There were 18 cubs and 11 scouts who travelled to Point Farms Provincial Park on Friday. On arrival at the camp, two leaders took the Cubs for a hike to collect driftwood for their craft on Sunday. This left the other leaders to pitch the tents. After a quick supper and wash it was to bed and lights out by 10 p.m. Saturday morning it was rise and shine et 7 a.m. with flagbreak at 7:30. The boys returned for breakfast and then at 9 a.m., they set off for a morning of challenge games and planned events. After lunch was just as busy with more challenge games, knot relays, squaws run and scavenger hike. The district .then supplied hot dogs for supper, after which they participated in a peanut scramble and campfire. Our boys led the campfire by singing "land of the silver birch". Bedtime was again 10 p.m. with no tent still awake after 10:30. Rise and shine on Sunday was at 7 a.m. with flagbreak and then Scouts Own. The short service was held in the bush with a moment of silence to listen and hear the sounds of nature, what scouting is all about. The morning ended with crafts and lunch. We then met for the presentation of the trophies and lowering of the flag. Vanastra cubs came third which means we are improving and hope to do the same or better next year. The Scouts followed a much stiffer program than the cubs. Their points were based on patrol work, pioneering projects, meals (preparation and at- tendance) and general appearance of them- selves and their camp- site. The patrol work was a very stiff competition, our boys did very well on this with 55.5 points out of 70. They consisted of 10 posts, some of which were 'carrying an injured person from the bottom of a ravine by the fastest route, climbing over an imaginary snake pit by way of a rope stretched between two trees, first aid and judging the height of a tree. from 30 feet. The boys had to cook all meals on an open fire and also sit down as a group to eat. It was also judged on appearance and nutrition. Our group built a dish rack for their project, that was meant to hang pots and pans on and also with a place to set a dish pan and tray on. This was done with small logs and square lashed with binder twine. They scored 17 out of 20 on this. Glen M.wt not.''me' HOME CENTRE They finished with 901/2 points out of two hundred. They were in the running for the top until some unfortunate incidents, which lost them 40 points.• This brought them down to second last place. All the boys worked very hard and hope to over- cpme the faults which brought them down this year. Despite the heat and discomfort of sunburn, both groups did really well and the boys and leaders all enjoyed themse4ves. Everyone returned home about 4 p.m. on Sunday, a tired group of kids and weary leaders and cooks. Cubs and Scouts are over for the year now and we hope to see all our boys back next year with a few new faces. Good luck to all the boys over the summer from your leaders.
