Boy Scout Week In Seaforth
Boy Scout week is being ob-
. served in Seaforth this week
along with other communities
across the country.
It is an opportunity to salute
the dedicated leaders and help-
ers throughout our town who
donated their time and energy
to help provide guidance and
recreation for the children of
our community.
The people of Seaforth have
become conscious of Scouting
activities recently as is evident
by the overwhelming support
received at the Skate-a-thon.
The proceeds from this event
will provide the much needed
renovations to the Scout Hall.
Scouting and Guiding are or-
ganizations devoted to helping
youth on their journey through
the developing stages of life.

of responsibility and pride in
themselves, their community
