'Fit for Adventure' Is 1965 Boy Scout Theme "Fit for Adventure" is the theme for the Boy Scouts of Canada for 1965. In the imple- mentation of this theme, pro- grams will be directed towards adventurous activities. The whole aim of the "Fit for Ad- venture" theme is to help pro- duce total fitness in the indi- vidual --a healthy body --an enquiring mind --a high code el values --and efficiency to be used in service to the commu- nity. LOCAL ORGANIZATION Scouting's chain of organi- sation is not unwieldy. Each link Is just strong enough to see that local troops and packs are well organized and provided with the highest quality leaders, Before a troop or pack can he formed it is necessary to have a sponsoring body. There trust also be a group of non-tutifortu cd individuals formed under the title of 'Group Committee'. This committee is responsible for providing uniformed leaders, and acts in a supervisory capa- city regarding local Scouting projects. They hold the purse strings, and in effect, act as a board of directors. Wingham is particularly blessed in that the local Kins- men, the sponsoring group, takes a keen interest in Scout- ing and two of the club's mem- hers are also members of the Group committee. It is through the efforts of the Kinsmen that the local Cubs and Scouts have a Scout hall, The Kinsmen also pick up the tab for the upkeep and utilities. Doti Lloyd, president of the Wingham Group Committee, states that one of the biggest problems in Scouting is lack of interest among adults to parti- cipate as leaders, Wingham is currently fortunate in having high calibre leadership by Chief Scouter Crawford Douglas and Assistant Chief Scouter Murray Fridenburg, Mr, Fridenburg is also Cub Master, There ate number of assistant leaders but there is always room for more. There are approximately 55 Scouts and 60 Cubs active in Wingham. They join hands with over 3i5, 000 other young Can- adians in world-wide Scouting activities. Scooting builds a boy's character. It teaches him self- reliance and widens his out- look.
