PANTHER PATROL
BY BRIAN POLLOCK
• The Panthers started ,their
weekly meeting with a roaring
game' of soccer. Afterwards
Scouter Don Rintoul had .each
of us write down the public serv-
ices that we had performed each
day in the past week. As every
six weeks, new officers are
elected, we voted .to have Jeff
Anderson as patrol leader. Ev-
ery Scout is assigned a different
duty by election.
We finished making our pa-
trol flag., Jeff Anderson and
Brian Pollock led the rest of the
patrol in •"various• games in which
David Fish won. A number of
badges were awarded to various
Scouts .in our patrol before the,
meeting ended.

Thanks to the kindness of Mr.
Lorne Baird the Scout troop for
the past couple of years has had
the use of a farm house on his
property, plus land to camp on.
.Last Saturday morning two
patrols and their Counsellors '
started out to the farm house on
foot and on bike or by any
means possible. Whefl we ar-
rived there was a general clean-
up of most of the rooms the pa-
trols are going to use. Soon the
dust got so thick we had to take
a break until it settled down.
For lunch, some cooked their
meals while others brought a
cold lunch.
After lunch we went back to
the clean-up; this time moving
things around and storing all
the odds and ends ie one room.
We then took the old lath down-
stairs to be used for .kindling
and pushed the old plaster from
the hall and room over to a win-
dow for later disposal:
Before we left we had a ball
game which ended when the
ball fell apart; also we had a
look around the river. To most
of the fellows the house was
barel y recogni zable as the same
house we walked into that morn-
ing.
