LA 1 YR | TF AE A Lda Scout, Cub Mothers Auxiliary| mu 4 Meet For Extensive '65 Schedule By Alma Reesor The Scout and Cub Mothers Auxiliary held their January meeting at the home of Mrs, William Williams, Bay Street, on Monday evening with four- teen members present. The President, Mrs. Grant McDermott chaired the meeting and opened in regular form with the Scout Mothers' Promise be- ing repeated in unison. The highlight of the evening was the addresses presented by the guests of honour, Scout- masters Robert Bell and Albert Fulford of the 1st Port Perry Scout Troop. Several interesting facts were brought to light in the course of the talk and the chance to ask and discuss questions and problems were dealt with. Scoutmaster Bell reported that the group is becoming bet- ter organized and that they had several experienced leaders to volunteer their assistance. A. "mong these are Scoutmasters Albert Fulford; Peter Sweet- man; Assistants Alan Fulford; William McLaughlin; Robert Mansfield, Senior and Charles Reesor. The Troop now has twenty-one invested scouts; eight tender- foot scouts; two of these are ready to be invested at the next meeting and one second class scout. One Troop Leader has been appointed, Robert Mans- field, Junior. " Scoutmaster Bell stated "that Scouting is, in a word, a school of citizenship, through wood- craft." The subjects of instruec- tion with which it fills the chinks are individual efficiency through development of Char- acter; Health and Handicraft in the individual boy and in Citizenship through the em- ployment of this efficiency in service to the community. To give them some of the joys of life and at the same time some of the attributes and opportuni- ties to give them a fair chance in life. By the term scouting is meant the work & attributes of back- woodsmen, explorers, and fron- tiersmen. In giving the ele- ments of these to boys, the lea- ders supply a system of games and practices which meets their desires and instincts, and is at the same time educative. The teaching is by example and the boys are quick to learn and eager to excell. The ef- fects of this training where. it has been in competent hands has exceeded all expectations ii making happy, healthy, help- ful citizens. From the boys point of view, scouting puts them into fratern- ity groups which is their na- tural organization, whether for games, mischief or loafing; it gives them a smart dress and equipment; it appeals to their imagination and romance; and it engages them in an active open air life, From the parents' point of view, it gives physical health & development; it teaches energy; resourcefulness; handicrafts; it puts into the lad discipline; pluck; chivalry; in a word, it develops character, which is more essential than anything else to a lad for preparing his way of life. The principles on which scouting works is that the boys ideas are studied, and he is en- couraged to educate himself in- stead of being instructed." The principle is in accord with that of the most up-to-date educa- tionalists. The training is pro- gressive and adapted to the changing psychology of the growing boy. The Wolf Cubs are encour- aged to devélop themselves as individuals, mentally and physi- cally. ) The Boy Scouts to developing charcter and sense of service. The Rover Scouts, to practice the scout ideals of service in citizenship. The training divides under four headings: -- 1. Individual character train- ing in resourcefulness, observa- tion, and self-reliance to gain the scout badge. } 2. Handicrafts or hobbies which may help a boy to make his way in life, for which Pro- ficiency Badges are given. 3. Physical Health, by encour- aging the boy to take plenty of exercise and to look after his body. 4. Service for the state, such as fire brigade, ambulance, missioner, life-saving or other collective public duty by the troop.
