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.
