Ten tired Scouts, leader return from Jamboree Ten tired Wingham Boy Scouts and their leader returned home last Thursday after an exciting trip to the Canadian Jamboree .at Prince Edward Island. Jonathon Lewis and Jason and Kevin Bridge were three of the sec- ond -year Scouts on the trip. They recounted highlights of their stay last Friday. The boys and leader Bob Hewines of Wingham set out for the jamboree July 12 in a van. Cana- dian jamborees are held every four years in various locations across the country. On their way to PEI, the boys amused themselves by looking at the scenery and armwrestling, of which Scout Noah Train is the undisputed champion. Upon their arrival, the boys hiked the final two kilometres to the jamboree site where they set up tents along with 14,000 other Scouts before bedding down for a well- deserved rest. Their days were filled with activ- ities. They played games, traded and bought items at the trading post, went sailing, fishing and, Jason's favorite, the BMX bicycle course. They went sightseeing in Char- lottetown and Jonathon went jet - skiing, which, he reports, was excellent. Another pastime the boys enjoyed was looking through the binoculars. It appears that not all Boy Scouts are boys any, more, so the local lads took part in a little girl -watching, although Jonathon protests that he was looking for birds. In addition to all the fun, the Scouts were expected to cook and clean up afterward. Jonathon was put on garbage duty by the chief scouter for playing football with a pudding. As might be eXpected, the boys say, thy food, —, hptdogs, and ham- burgers for the most part — was great. In trading pins and badges, the boys met others from various regions in Canada and throughout the world. Jonathon came to know a boy from British Columbia, another from the United States and even said hello to a Russian one day. Jason and Kevin also enjoyed meeting with other Scouts and the various other activities. But finally the jamboree drew to a close and the boys were more than ready for home. They set out on July 23, returning to Wingham last Thurs- day, July 27.
