THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1947 THEIRS IS THE FUTURE! saburdaiy,` February 22, is the anniversary of the birthday of the Founder of the Boy Scout and Girl Guide Movements; the late Lord Baden- Powell of Gilwell. This fact forms the keynote of the observance. in Canada this year, from February 16 to 23 inclusive, of Boy 'Scout -Girl Guide Week, in whish some 100,000 Boy Scouts and 66,000 Girl Guides of the Dominion — including more than 100 in 'Clinton — are participating. "Theirs is the Future" is the appropriate slogan for the observance. Lord Rowallan, Chief Scout of the British Common- wealth and Empire, who was last Fall a welcome visitor to Canada, contends that Scouting is a vital factor in fostering of world peace and suans it up in 'a message to the Scout leaders of the world in this manner; "Scouting is only just beginning and you and I have our share in what may well prove to be the greatest thing in the world for 'binding the peoples together in the spirit of goodwill." With a world membership of 5,000,000 Boy Scouts and 2,500,000 Girl Guides active today, the truth of Lord Rowallan's statement can readily be recognized. Especially its this true when one considers the fact that the Boy Scout and Girl Guide Movements have now been active for more than a generation and there must be many millions of nen and women throughout lihe lworld who owe something to the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides. There is a saying "Once a Scout always a Scout" and the same spirit applies to the Guides. The solemn promise to do their duty to God and country and to 'help other people at all times, is not easily forgotten and the "Good Turn" habit stays with the majority of people long after they have ceased to wear the uniforms of Scouts or Guides. Born in.1857, Baden-Powell first achieved nationttl fame as the Hero of Mafekitig, and it was as a result of his varied experiences ,tfnat he wrote Scouting for Boys in 1908, a little book which was destined to 'influence the lives of millions. It was a suggested programme of activi- ties whitish would help boys to educate themselves during their hours of recreation outside school or work. Tts main features were the out-of-doors and the Patrol System by which the practice of Scouting was carried out in the main by groups of six to eight boys under one of themselves as a leader. This system has stood the test of time and is found to be as practical today as when the Chief Scout introduced it 39 years ago. The 1939-45 war naturally affected, and in some countries wounded, but never killed Scouting and Guiding. At a session of the World Association of Guiding in Septem- ber, 1946, it was found that' formerly occupied countries of Europe had iaicrea'sed their Girl Guide membership by 50 per cent in spite of years of persecution. The Boy Scouts Association also reported remarkable increases in membership hi those countries. Since the cessation of +hostilities Canadian Guides and Scouts have done much to aid their fellow Guides and Scouts in war-torn Europe. Teams of trained Guide and Scout Leaders have gone to Europe and have done good work in distributing material and other aid, As a means of furthering international Guiding the Canadian Girl Guides Association, late in 1945, established a permanent "World Friendship Fund." In its first year more than $2,300 in nickels and dimes was contributed by Canadian Guides • and Brownies. Material and findings for 250 uniforms (a sacrifice from Canadian Guide uniform quotas) was sent to Greece, and money donated to the Guides of Belgium, Great 13ritaiu, France and Malta. Sub- stantial donations were made to the World Bureau Think- ing Day Fund for the promotion of World Guiding. Canadian Boy Scouts contributed more than $1x0,000 through the B. -P Chins -Up Fund to provide textbooks. printed in Canada in the language of the countries con- cerned, to replace Scouting publications destroyed by the Nazi forces when 'they occupied 'Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, Norway, France and the Netherlands, Editions ranged from 4,000 to 8,000 copies, and steps are now being taken to present a similar gift to the Scouts of Greece. In Scouting constant stress is laid on the fact that every boy taking the solemn promise of the Cub or Scout domes a member of the "World Brotherhood of Scouts," By means of .the World Friendship Badge an exchange of correspondence between Scouts throughout the world is encouraged. , In both the Guides 'and 'Scouts the forina- tion of international friendships is fostered by means of International Camps ,and Jamborees .0 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today ---Everything comes of a ma;i will only wait. O '0 The joyful welcome accorded the Royal Family on their arrival in South Africa is evidence enough of the loyallty of this part of the British .Commonwealth under the 1Southern Cross. Two Ontario counties —Bruce and Simcoe -=have decided to bring their histories up-to-date, 'and the County Councils have authorized expenditures for this purpose. In the interests of the future, Huron County might well follow suit. © 0 Clinton Colts 8-7 overtime ice victory over Stratford Legion here Monday evening was an epic of persistence on 'the pant of the Clinton players.
