38 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 16, 1989 Yard sale sends Scout to PEI by Rob Streich Thirteen year old Craig Mitchell is off to the Canadian Scouting Jamboree on Prince Edward Island this summer. Craig was selected as 1st Scugog's Scout of the Year last month. Now the R.H. Cornish senior is receiving the support of the 40 family organization in a fund-raising garage sale to helpsend himto P.E.I Everyone involved with the 1st Scugog Troop, beavers, cubs and scouts, has been asked to donate an item to the May 27 garage sale - no furni- ture or appliances. The sale will be held in the Prince Albert Community Centre. The seventh Canadian Jamboree will be held at Fort Ambherst/Port la Joye National Historic Park in P.E.I. from July 15 to 23. Already Craig is beginning to look forward to some of the exciting activities planned; fishing, canoeing, swimming, games and songs. Craig is eager to start nine days of meeting boys from across the nation and especial- ly exchanging badges with them all. He is the first scout from his troop to go to the Cana- dian Jamboree in the last four years. Only two candidates from each patrol are allowed to go. Altogether there are 15 scouts from the Pineridge area travel- ling together to the Jamboree. All 15 will be getting bet- ter acquainted at a pre-camp in Oshawa in June and then trav- - elling together in July. Approx- imately a thousandscouts and venturers are expected to come to the event from across the country. "Itisaoncein a lifetime op- portunity ," explained Craig. He decided to enjoy it while he can. After he turns 14, he will have to leave scouting, but hopes tojoin the army cadets. Organizers hope the gar- age sale will help offset part of the approximately $1000 trip cost.
