February 22 is a special
day to the Scouting and
Guiding movements. It is, the
birthday of both of their
founders, Lord. Baden-
Powell and Lady Baden-
Powell,
The girls call this
"Thinking Day" and collect
pennies for the World
Friendship Fund.
Money is used to promote
Guiding around the world
and help support the 4 World
Centres. Ninety-four
countries are actively in,
volved.
Exeter Guides have a
special outing planned to
celebrate their founder's
birthday, The girls will enjoy
a wagon ride to the Triebner
farm/birthday cake and hot
Chocolate and a program of
international flavour.
Also the winning patrol of
the penny challenge will be
announced.
There are 38 Guides this
year in the First Exeter
Company and 1980 marks the
70th anniversary of the
movement.
Brownies
By ROBERTA MORTLEY
Brownies have a pack of 27
girls, three adult leaders,
Roberta Mortley, Agnes
Aunger, Joanne Luxton and
three junior leaders, Lisa
Rooth, Linda Smith and
Janet Wright.
This past year being The
Year of the Child the Girl
Guides of Canada celebrated
it With a new I.Y.C. badge
which some of our girls had
the opportunity to earn.
The Brownies in our pack
do a Service project for the
hospital, by making tray
favors through out the year.
Right now the girls are
getting ready for Thinking
Day which is our Founders
birthday. They are doing this
by collecting pennies, The
pennies are used for such
things es International
camping, for our four world
centers, for disasters in
areas where there is Guiding
etc.
The girls will also be at-
tending a church parade and
helping with a Thinking Day
tea and bake sale besides
having a special meeting of
their own.
In the next couple of
months the girls will be
having a swimming meet,a
hike, a camp out and a bus
trip.
Boy Scouts
On February 22, 1857, Lord
Robert Baden-Powell of
Gillwell was born. He grew
up learning how to live with
nature. By the time he died
in 1941, he had become the
founder of the largest
organization for children in
the world.
The Exeter Boy Scouts,
sponsored by the Lions club,
will celebrate Boy Scout
week from the lath to the
23rd of this month.
Exeter has a Scout troup,
Guide troup, Beaver pack,
two Brownie packs, one Cub
pack and one Venturer
troop. They are governed by
an efficient group com-
mittee.
As Scouting grows ever
stronger, we still remember
the famous words which
come to mean Scouting and
can and should be used in
every-day life, "Be
Prepared."

Exeter Boy Scout
Beavers

To enjoy the company of
boys their own age in a social
setting.
We try for a varied
program including games,
songs, stories tours and
special guests. We include
dads and moms 'in our ac-
tivities throughout the year
and try at least once a year
to have a family gathering.
Our Beaver Colony has 38
registered Beavers and our
leaders are: Evelyn
Lebedew, Marion Tinney,
Carol McDonnell, Veda
Russell, Carol Rideout,
Marie Nethercott, Drew
Hasselback (Scout), Jeff
Wareham (Scout).
Wolf cubs
By DEAN McKNIGHT
This week may be in-
significant to many people,
but to the wolf cub
organization it is Lord Baden
Powell week. Lord Baden
Powell was the founder of
the Boy Scout movement.
Our cubs this year are
observing this event in
different ways. On Tuesday
we held a father and son
banquet, on Friday the boys
will be wearing their
uniforms to school and on
Sunday they will be at-
tending a church service at
the Exeter United Church.
Through the year many
activities are planned for the
boys. Tours are taken
through different places
such as the fire ball, Grand
Bend water plant, The Times
Advocate and the the library
just to mention a few.
Other activities that have
been done are skating,
nature hikes, swimming
and coming up will be two
campouts this spring.
One thing that is done to
prepare the boys for these
campouts is a Sleepover at
the Scout Hall. This is, not
quite the same as sleeping in
tents but many of the ac-
tivities are done that will be
done while they are camping
outdoors.
At the regular meetings we
try to set up a program
where the boys can have fun
making things or playing
games but also have time to
work on badge and star
requirements. Many of the
requirements can be done on
their own in their spare tine
and when they have them
completed properly they
receive special badges and
stars to sew on their shirts.
For star requirements the
boys learn about first aid,
bicycle safety, gardening,
carpentry, sign language to
mention a few and through
the year specialists these
fields are invited to come
and speak to the boys about
these subjects.
Most important of all is
that the boys learn to work
aIld play together and
become better citizens,
Of course in any
organization of this sort,
money is needed to keep the
program running. Some of
the money raising projects
which are done are an apple
day, which is done by both
cubs and scouts. This year
the cubs sold candles at
Christmas time and that
proved to be a great success.
Just in closing I would like
to thank every one who has
helped to support cubs in any
way through out the years.
