Brownie corner WHY I LIKE BEING IN BROIES By Sarah Middleton I like being in Brownies because you play games such as "Fish in the Net" and "Touch Tag" and have lots of fun. Most of my friends go to Brownies. We wear a nice unifom; it is brown with an orange and white tie. We sing songs and do crafts like flowers and little baskets. Brownies taught me to lie kind to others and to lend a hand. I help my mother by tidying up my room and vacuuming the kitchen floor. Because of Brownies I got to go to camp like Camp Keewaydin. I like Brownies very much.

SCOUTING News By Andrew Kaufman When we got` to the school Marty gave us a sheet with information about our departure from Toronto In- ternational n- ternational Airport. It consisted of baggage check- in procedure, passenger check-in procedure, some important reminders and some handy tips about our backpacks. We will be leaving from Toronto on the 30 to fly out to Calgary and drive to Banff. Marty is afraid of flying; so I say to him: More accidents happen in your bathroom than in an airplane. Therefore, never go to the washroom during our flight. In the second part of our meeting we made a list of all the things that we had put in our backpacks. Then we unpacked our backpacks to see what we had forgotten. After adding the forgotten things onto our lists we packed all equipment up MR lottery draw winners Mr. and Mrs. Bill McInnes of Teeswater won the grand prize of a $1,500 trip for two in the June draw of the MR Lottery.
