SENIOR PROGRAM FOR
$0Y SCOUTS 15 - 17
New Programme Will Provide More
Adventurous and Strenuous Activities"
For Older Boys
To meet the needs peduliar to boys
15 to 17, a new l'section will :he intro-
duced in Canadian Scouting shortly.
The Chief Scout's -Commission, named
by the GovernorJGeneral in 1943
brought in their recommendations for
the new programme recently. It is
planned to provide more adventurous
and strenuous activities for these older
boys.
Several Scout groups across Canada
have been experimenting with a senior
Scout programme for some months,
and the result of these dxperiments,
together with the programme outlined
by Imperial Headquarters in Britain
form the basis of .the new departure, ,
Senior Scout Troops will be formed
only where leaders are available, and ,
where it is felt advisable to separate
the 61der boys from the regular Scout
troop. Senior Scouts however will be
permitted to retain their identity with
the Troops as Patrol Leaders until
their sixteenth birthday.
The new section will be divided into
Patrols, which will bear the names of
Canadian birds and animals. They will
wear the regular Scout uniforms, but
will be distinguished by maroon
shoulder straps.
A special series of the more difficult
proficiency badges has been set apart
for Senior Scouts, but the principal
emphasis of the programme will be the
outdoor life hiking, camping, etc.
The new programme is expected to
take care of that group of boys who
find their .interests and associations
change when they attend secondary
school. As the high school age is a
separating influence between high
school and public school boys, so the
Senior Scout programme will take care
of the 'Changed status of the same age
grouping.
St
Two former Canadian Boy Scouts,.
both of them from 'British Columbia,
have been awarded the V.C. during this
war. Canada's first Victoria Cross
winner, Colonel C. C. I, Merritt (left),
was . a Cub and Scout in the 6th Vic-
toria Group. Major Charles Ferguson
ii
Hoey, (right), won his V.C. in the
Burma campaign where he was serving:
with the British Army. He was a
Scout, Rover and Assistant Scout-
master at Duncan, B.C. Colonel Mer-
ritt is a prisoner of war and Major
Hoey lost his life. His V.C. was
awarded posthumously.

V.Vorld Day of Prayer
There was a good 'attendance at St,
James Anglican Church on Friday
afternoon when -the women of the
community gathered for the annual
prayer service, which is held each year
on the first Friday iii Lent,
Miss K. Hazelwood who presided at
the organ throughout servie4,
played softly before the "call to
prayer" was given by Mrs, F. H,
Scherk. Mrs. F, Sanderson had charge
of the second part under the beading,
"Worship". Mrs. Gordon Gibson read
the scripture lesson taken from 1
Peter 1-39. Mrs, Gilbert Howes pre-
sided over the third part, "Thanks-
giving', The guest speaker was Mrs.
John Gowdy of Salem, who chose to
speak on "Neighborliness", The speak,
er began by stating, we do not and can-
not live to ourselves, each of us has
an influence on some one with whom
we come in contact, The wise man
of old said, "Better is a neighbor at
hand than a brother afar off." who
then is our neighbor?. In Jesus' par-
able of the Good Samaritan He taught
us that neighborliness muAt reach out.
In that parable the injured man was
probably a stranger to the Samaritan
but that fact was not allowed to inter-
fere with the opportunity to do a
neighborly deed, even -if the stranger
did belong to the hated race. Where
are we to set the limit. Just where
Jesus did. There is no limit. Mission-
aries sent to the far fields realize this
and give the best part oyheir lives
to bring the Masters Message of hope
and blessing. The speaker spoke of
the World Day of Prayer and it value.
The chain of prayer and praise that
encircles the world. Today we are
faced with the biggest job of neighbor-
ing the world has ever known. God
grant tis grace to do it well for Him.
Many organizations are doing a great
deal to show neighborly sympathy'.
Whether we have done all we could
or whether we have . allowed selfish
interests to slow us down, remains a
matter to be settled with the individ-
ual conscience. Let us constantly seek
guidance from the Lord, by prayer.
Then by our lives make answers to our
prayers, pray for our leaders of the
nations. Each one of us has a part
to play in the advancing of peace and
it is only being the sort of 'neighbor
Jesus showed us how to be that we
can hope for peace in this world. The
speaker paid tribute to British wo-
men, who after their many trials are
now taking care of hundreds of chil-
dren from 'Holland, from the country

DONATE HANDBOOKS
TO EUROPE'S SCOUTS
Scouts of Poland, Holland, France,
Belgium, Norway and Czechoslovakia
Aided
In a little over one year, Canadian
Boy Scouts have provided funds to
print and send overseas a total of 33,-
000 13oy Scout Handbooks for Scouts
in the conquered countries, Some of
these books are already in use. Pay-
ment for these books has been made
from the Boy Scouts Chins-Up Fund,
to which Canadian Scouts and Cubs
have contributed over $51,000 in the
past four years.
Handbooks have been printed for
Poland, the Netherlands, France, Bel-
gium, Norway and Czechoslovakia.
The total cost, including freight to
Great Britain has reached $12,000.
The method of productiOn has been
to secure an original copy of the
Handbook of the country involved,
and to reproduce it by a photoglaphic
method. Five thousand books were
printed for Poland, 5,000' Scout books
and 3,000 Cub books for the Nether-
lands; 6,000 manuals, and 4,000 games
books for France; 7,000 handbooks for
Norway, and 5,000 handbooks for
Czechoslovakia. It is also intended to
provide books for Greece and any
other liberated country which needs
them, Additional quantities of the
books already printed will be provided
if required.
The first of the books to be put into
use was the Polish book, which has
been used among Polish refugee Scout
Troops in the Near East. Word was
received recently that the Netherlands
books had arrived in Holland and were
being distributed.
An interesting story relates that
when the Norwegian government in
exile in Britain could not secure copies
of the Norwegian book "Speidergutt-
boka" in England. Norwegian com-
mandos landed in their homeland, se-
cured copies of the book, which event-
ually arrived in Ottawa for reproduc-
tion. The Netherlands books were
paid for by the Scouts of Montreal
and the French books by the Scouts
of Toronto.
The publication of these books has
been the major contribution of the
Canadian 13.oy.Scouts to the rehabilita-
tion of Scouting in Europe.
