Jamboree a highlight for Scout AS
A
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
For a pair of young Scouts from
the Blyth troupe, it was the chance
of a lifetime to participate in the
huge jamboree held in Thunder
Bay, July 12 to 19.
Attending his first jamboree,
Robert Goodall of Londesboro says
his favourite events were those that
involved water, whether walking
on it with personal pontoons, pad
dling through it or maneuvering
over an obstacle course.
Goodall and Ross Clark of Blyth,
were amongst the 13,872 scouts
from across the country to gather
for a week of activities, camping
and pin swapping.
Obtaining that elusive pin or
badge is a major goal for the
scouts. Goodall gathered many
from across the country as well as
having several good offers for a
few of his. However, he had to turn
down one eager bidder as he was
after a pin obtained years ago by
Goodall’s father. It was not avail
able for trade, he says.
Other activities which Goodall
found to be “lots and lots of fun”
were the Westward Ho events. The
scouts had the opportunity to do
woodburning, branding, chuck
wagon races and, Goodall’s
favourite, slingshot shooting.
It was probably one of his
favourite because he was able to tie
the record with 11 targets knocked
down.

Several families from the Blyth
Community Church of God
congregation attended the annual
Church of God Family Camp
meeting at Thamesford this past
week.
Pastor Leslie Cook, his wife
Jackie and daughter Katie were in
charge of the children's program
and Bill and Mary Marsh led the
children's choir, as well as an adult

night following the service.
Conferences during the day were
well attended, and the evening
services usually saw around 250,
including 50 - 60 youths, gather
into the tabernacle to hear
evangelist, Rev. David Shultz and
to enjoy the music under the
leadership of Gregory Prather,
