This material is going. to be made up into a cook house at the Cub camp on, the. Maitland. River. Commissioner' L. d. Winter Early this week, L. G. 'Skip" Winter receivedhis commission as Scout Commissioner for the Hu- ron Area, which automatically puts, hirci on the executive of the. Ontario Scout organization. Cub Meeting April 12 Despite the counter attraction of the hockey game in Goderich there was a very good turn out of Cubs on Monday night. The leaders were out' in full force and in ad- dition, the badge examiner, Doug Hardy, was at the meeting. Dur- ing classwork period Raymond Garon passed .his time -telling; Doug Mair and Ken Johnson pas- sed their flag tests; John Slavin, Don Fremlin and Paul Draper pas- sed their skipping tests and Wayne Grigg passed his team player badge. Hike Easter Monday All Cubs are reminded of a hike on Easter Monday. Meet outside Wesley -Willis Church at 8.45 on Monday morning. Bring something to cook, a few sandwiches just in case, and a thermos of cocoa or warm milk or a bottle of pop. Do not bring your equipment in a paper bag because these break -too easily. Pack your food,etc., in a haversack or cloth bag of some sort. No dogs will be allowed on this hike because the pack will be taken out to the new Cub camp site in cars and will start from there. Boys will be back at the church by 3.30 Monday afternoon. if any of the boys' fathers want to come along and bring their cars they will be welcome. Brownie Leader Wanted There is an urgent need for a Brownie leader in Clinton. A good sized Brownie pack could be or- ganized here when a leader and meetiirg place are found. Cubs Camp Huts Perhaps you have been wonder- ing about onder-ing'about the blank space beside the Cub and Scout column each week. You may also have been wondering what the small wooden hut at the corner of Rattenbury grid Albert Streets is for. Well, it all' started about a year ago when one of our very public spirited citizens L. G. "Skip" Win- ter offered his . pr"operty along the shore of the Maitland River, north of Holmesville for use by the Scouts and Cubs. Last 'year the Scouts established a camping site back in the bush and enjoyed many pleasant weekend camps. Camping for Cubs is, however, a little more restricted than it is for Scouts. So this year it was decided by the Cub leaders to try to establish a proper Cub camp. With the technical -knowhow of Bill . Grigg, the Cub leaders have built the first, hut'and this is the hut you see on the main street of Clinton. Dr. J. - A. Addison al- t • ready has come forward and con- , ' tributed the funds to build anoth- i • er hut. Four More Needed The aim for this year is to build six huts which will accommodate 24 Cubs for weekend camps. Next year we would like to provide a dining hall so that the Cubs could Thereg to eks. isr other town none or two et the Huron area that can boast a prop- er Cub camp and by the time the Clinton one is completed it will be second to none in the district. With the proper backing it would be definitely superior to the one sponsored by London. So let us all get behind this worth while project and let the young boys of Clinton have the facilities and opportunities of camping during the summer and good weather months that we would all have liked to have had when we were kids. Perhaps you cannot donate a hut but every dollar contributed makes it that much closer to finishing another hut. If you have any 'two by fours" or "two by two's" you can spare please get in touch with Dia,Cornish, "Skip" Winter or BIll Grigg. They will do the rest,.
