(Steve Cook photo) Over 200 attend Scouting conference by Mary and Rodney Scouting is for active boys and will remain so as long as boys and youth contribute to its life. Leaders play a very important part in helping to keep Scouting fit, active and alive. To assist leaders in keeping Scouting challeng- ing, exciting and interesting a Scouting Conference was held in Palmerston Satur- day, March 14, 1981. Over two hundred persons involv- ed in Scouting were on hand to see programs which in- cluded winter camping, Cub activities, Beaver sharing sessions, crafts and of course information on CJ 81. Attending from Clinton were Janet Cameron, Garry and Florence Elliott, Gary and Mary Freeman; Doug and Susan St. Louis, Pat Higgins, Jim Ryan, Wayne Wig- gelsworth and Bob Semple. Sunday, March 15, Beavers from Colony A and B shared in a skating party at. the Clinton Arena. Although it was a small tur- nout unnout a good time was had by all. Special thanks to Lia Hoggarth for helping in the kitchen. Beavers Colony A: Lep echutrea _ were everywhere at the colony and as Beavers entered the pond, shamrocks were pian- "" ed to their vest fora touch of "Irish. Luck".:Laurie 'Lobb occupied the birthday spot this week and following the birthday song Beavers jumped the toadstools into a fun meeting revolving around shamrocks, leprechauns and St. Patrick's nay. A humorous story of the mischievious leprechaun was told by Hawkeye and acted out by Tic Tac, Bubbles and Rusty. Beavers then raced around the pond in a lively game to find . the "Pot 0' Golda' before dividing into lodges to handicraft leprechauns from tissue rolls. Our Irish treat was Leprechaun Knox Blox and Irish Green Pop. A reminder to parents that there will be no regular. Whoops Do you walk into walls, trip over stairs, fall down and spill your milk? Perhaps you, slide off chairs, step into puddles, and poke yourselfff in the eye. Are you `accident prone'? There are several surefire ways of knowing whether or not you're accident prone. People who are tend to have a lot of bruises. That's because they fall down a lot. Look at your legs — how many bruises do you have? Tons? Ah, then there's a hint. People who are accident prone seem to spend a lot of time on the ground. Not that they want to, it just ends up that way. Do you spend a lot of time lying on the ground? How many times a day do you plop down? About ten? There's another hint. Do you find that every time you pour a glass of milk you end up cleaning the table? Or, once you've poured the milk, you always spill it? Accident prone people have to tidy up after themselves a lot. If you are accident prone you probably don't want to be. Bruises hurt, falling down looks silly, and cleaning up messes is boring. But how does one stop being accident prone? How can some people walk without falling. Some people have accidents because they're in a hurry. When people are in a rush, their bodies get confused. These people would have fewer bruises if they slowed down. They wouldn't have ..to.clean .up so many messes if they did things slowly. Other people have accidents just because they do. These people aren't in a hurry at all. They've been known to fall down while standing perfectly still. Plop, just like that. Usually these accidents happen when there are lots of people around, like in movie lineups. These people get laughed at. There's nothing much these accident prone people can do except laugh and say `Whoops.'

Beavers Colony B: The colony had a party to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and following a fun game of Irish Snaps, Rusty read the story of a naughty leprechaun. Beavers were then introduced to a new game called Leprechaun Footsteps before dividing in- to lodges to create shamrocks which they pro- udly wore home. The Irish treat was milk and shamrock cookies.

One way to provide more camping and hiking in the program is to use equipment which can be carried by a Scout to and from the place where he will camp. CJ 81 has been organized with the. intentionof providing the op- portunity to try out light- weight camping for those patrols which have not tried it yet and increase the skills of those that have. Hopefully the Scouts attending the Jamboree this year will be able to pass on their knowledge to future Scouts from Cubs and Beavers at- tending in later years. One of the topics at the Scout meeting held last Wednes- day night was how to pack equipment as the CJ 81 definition of light -weight gear is `that which can be carried on the person to the campsite". Another interesting topic was First Aid. Although at the Jamboree Headquarters there will be a fully staffed field hospital and am- bulances stationed throughout the site, each patrol Scouter should be prepared to deal with minor injuries and have a small first aid kit on hand. Badges earned last week were: musicians, Michael Tait; bronze personal fitness, David Andrews and gold personal fitness, Jerry McMahon. A reminder that the bottle drive for the Scouts will be held Saturday, March 21, so please have your bottles ready for the Scouts when they call. Scouts are asked to be at the Wesley -Willis Church at 9:45 a.m. Scouter Wayne has asked me t especially thank Cam Addison and the grade eight class for postponing their bottle drive to another date so that the Scouts could con- tinue onwiththeirs.
