Christmas Tree Sales Help Scouts Sandy Archibald, of Archibald Orchards, is seen presenting Fred Ford, Skipper of the 1st Hampton Sea Scouts, with proceeds from the 1993 Christmas Tree sales. This project will be repeated by the First Hampton Sea Scouts in 1994. Scouting By Fred Ford, Skipper, First Hampton Sea Scouts Skips Tip: Wear your challenge chain, your tail or your star with pride. Cub badges badges and scout challenge badges have a lot in common. They are earned by doing what you enjoy the most and do the best and that is what scouting is all about. Set yourself a goal to earn a number of badges. How about one badge a month? Don't feel that you have to earn every badge that there is, but don't be afraid to try and to discover new things. If you want to be a photographer, get someone to show you how. Read some books. Soon you will be an accomplished photographer and will have another badge to sew on your esteemed sash. Doing different things is fun and having having fun is what scouting should be. Bored? Go to a scouting meeting and have some fun. 1 Skip's Quiz: You get to camp and have forgotten your fork and spoon. What can you do? News from District: Help me out.

Extend Your Best Wishes With UNICEF Card or Gift by Barbara Strang, UNICEF Ontario It's an old cliché, but true: a UNICEF gift is a gift that gives twice. Simply by choosing to give UNICEF cards and gifts, consumers worldwide contributed over $102 million last year to programmes helping helping children in over 137 countries. Little did Jitka Samkova, a seven' year old Czech girl, know that her drawing to UNICEF thanking the organization organization for its assistance after World War II, would become the first official UNICEF greeting card in 1949. And little did she ever dream that it would inspire a world-wide multi-million dollar business that has saved the lives of countless children. Today, artists from every comer of the globe donate their designs to UNICEF. Each year, approximately 2,000 submissions arc received by the Art Selection Committee, from which designs for both personal and corporal cards arc chosen. All of UNICEF's designs fall into one of six theme categories - Family, Celebrations, Celebrations, Ecology, Peace, Cultural Diversity Diversity and Unity, Youth and Future. Over the years, hundreds of Canadian Canadian artists have been featured on UNICEF cards, and the 1994 UNICEF holiday card collection boasts twenty-two Canadian designs. In 1993, of the 5.1 millions cards sold in Canada, 1.9 million featured Canadian works. In addition to its holiday card selection, selection, UNICEF offers a varied and unique selection of gifts. There arc beautifully hand-crafted gifts from UNICEF-assisted projects overseas. There are mugs, T-shirts and night shirts, desk and wall calendars, holiday holiday tree ornaments, and a wonderful line of jewellery, including special International Year of the Family car- rings and brooch. And, of course, it wouldn't be UNICEF without plenty of books, educational games, stuffed animals, and more to choose from for kids. UNICEF's holiday card and gift campaign relics on the dedication of volunteers in our community and communities like ours across this province. Volunteers staff stores and malls, and many sell products from their homes. Others secure free advertising advertising and publicity from local media, media, who must also be thanked for their support of this important charitable charitable business venture, All proceeds from UNICEF's cards and gifts help provide clean water, education, health care, and proper nutrition to children in need. What better way to extend the spirit of giving during this holiday season than buying a gift that gives twice. UNICEF cards and gifts arc now on sale at stores throughout Ontario.
