Scouts in flight from Goderich Milestone Thomas and Ruth Jardin, now of Blyth, formerly of Auburn, celebrated 60 years of marriage, with an open house at Knox United Church on Sunday. Jardins mark 60th Another year of Scouting in Blyth has just about wrapped up. It has been a year of learning, fun and new adventures. Many 1st Blyth Scouting youth and their families were treated to a 20-minute flight at the Goderich Airport on May 9, compliments of several local members of the Experimental Aircraft Association. Their Young Eagles Program is designed to introduce young people to the experience of flying, something that many would never have experienced otherwise. All Sections attended one of the best ever Huron District year-end camps at Benmiller May 22-24. The great weather complimented an excellent program of hiking, games and crafts. Senior Scouts could participate in a 25 km hike. All sections were challenged to set up their campsite according to the particular theme; Western' for Beavers, 'Life in Space' for Cubs, 'CJ Revisited' for Scouts. Among other activities, Venturers travelled down the river on innertubes. All campers enjoyed the camaraderie, the good food, and the evening campfires. On May 26 all sections enjoyed the family barbecue at the Lions Park, where the third-year Beavers moved up to Cubs, the third-year Cubs moved on to Scouts, and the third-year Scouts moved up to Venturers.

Also that weekend the Venturers will be participating in a Canadian Voyageur Adventure with Venturer Advisors Mike and Arden Scott.

Second-year Cubs will have the opportunity Aug. 22-23 to attend the second annual Cub Canoe Camp at Attawandaron, where they will camp, and learn the basics of handling a canoe. 1st Blyth registration for the 1998-1999 Scouting year will be Sept. 16 at the arena.
