THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1931 Boy Scout Activities News of what the Boy Scouts of Oshawa are doing contributed by the scout lead- ers. Contributions to this column will be welcomed. and should be sent Times office not to the than Tuesday later '¥ morning each week. - i SCOUT NOTES our movement progresses hawa, and the years pass by, it is e obvious that some of the orig- pal boys who used to take a lively pterest in Scouting when they were oung, grow up beyond the Scouting hase and begin to look for fresh elds to conquer. L If nothing further is offered by his L Troop, he breaks away and begins to form new associations with boys bof his own age, and quite often loses ia good deal of the Scouting spirit. ] process, painful especially for the old I Scoutmaster who has worked so hard old age, who are interested in Rover- ing, should get in touch with their old Scoutmaster. On Saturday last, some of the ar- dent hikers on the Fifth Troop start- ed out for a track finding hike, The hike was directed towards the Kiwanis' Boys Camp. Unfortunately this spot was farther off than anticipated and the hikers discovered that time did not permit a search for tracks after arrival The eats were demolished, and one This breaking away process is oft | of the boys passed his firelighting times a long drawn out and painful | test. There was some successful exper: menting Jone with a fire bow set Bwith him for the past five or six {and fire was produced with this in- L years, only to find his boy gradually i slipping away from him when he ¢ reaches the manhood stage. The reason is obvious because the boy's mind has changed to that of | | | man, and he has a different outlook | on life. "From boyish games he desires to turn to something concrete and greater in the form of service. © Rovering is designed to fill this gap 'and this movement is just beginning I to start to life in Oshawa.

I Rovers could also find a great out- Jet in helping our Scoutmasters at ithe present time by preparing them- selves for specialised instruction and pricing - programmes. Then of course, away in the back- ound is the possibility of a real Rover Scout Band, for which of k course, we must have Rovers.

Great Beginning Girls! Mrs, Brown's group at King Street Church certainly know how to start the New Year off right, for on Tucs- day evening they had a banquet, All present certainly enjoyed themselves wonderfully, And the New Year Looked at The Old She wondered. She was trying to decide whether to belong to the or- ganization the following year. She had had one year of C.G.LT. work, and what had it meant for her? Enough to make it worth while to go on? She went over in her mind all that she had done the past year in connection with her group. Well, for one thing, even belonging to the group meant a lot. It was always nice to have friends, and when ten or twelve girls met together once a week, they can arrange for a lot of good times. In the fall they had had two hikes and held a Mother and Daughter Banquet at the church. They had spent one week in collect- ing snapshots taken at camp and put them all together in an album which was given to the leader at Christmas. One meeting they had listened to talks by some of the girls on the final touches of interior decorating-- and the following week they had had a progressive dinner party for which each tried to make her dining room particularly attractive by using the information and hints given at the last meeting. She had liked that. Certainly girls in training should have some knowledge of such matters, They had spent two or three mect- ings working on a quilt, and each girl had dressed a doll or knitted a sweat- er or scarf ®r made something to add to"the cargo for China. Just before Christmas they had painted Christmas cards and each girl made two of her own Christmas presents, And they had given a dinner and clothing to one of the poorer families in their section of the city. All win- ter she had skated with the C.G.L.T, and had made a start at hockey too. Their group team had played in the inter-group games in the city and had gone as far as the semi-finals, Skat- ing and hockey had meant a lot to her that winter. She wouldn't let them go in a hurry. Two skating parties and a winter hike provided social activity for the winter. Then, of course, theré were thie monthly rallies where they had heard talks on various vocations, each by a woman who was well acquainted with the possibilities in whatever course she was dealing with. She valued every one of those talks and was grateful for the help they had given her. And the spring--they Wad done so many things that spring. There was the play, the breakfast. hike, the ten- | dancing is a great aid." | during the fall under the able plan- g 3 -a » Girl Guide * News All the work and play of Guiding can be put under four heads--Intelli- gence, Handicraft, Health and Ser- vice, It matters not whether it is in the Brownies, the Guides or the Rangers, the classification is the same. All' the great character building movements have these same ideas in their headings, although they may call them by different names. The Y.M. and Y.W.C.A. call them Spirit, Mind and Body: the church organi- zations speak of the training as Men- tal, Social, Physical and Spiritual, It is not the name that matters: the idea behind it is the thing that makes or mars the boy or girl, and when you find ideas like these vou can be sure that it will help to make, not mar, It is interesting to note in the daily papers of the past week the splendid impression made on Toronto educa- tional authorities by Capt. Jarman, the British physical training expert. He is at present engaged in Win- nipeg where he is showing teachers that real physical education is not a series of setting-up exercises; One paper quotes Capt. Jarman as saying: "A child should have a joyous par- ticipation in the games. There should be teams, and they should learn to play for the team, not for the indi- vidual. Organized games and. folk Surely he must have been speak- ing about Guiding. All those things are the very means used for the Mrs. Gordon Ratcliffe, the district captain of Oshawa, is in Simcoe this week conducting classes for the train- | ing of Guiders. | The whole Guide family of Osh- awa is glad to know of the recovery of their badge convenor, Mrs. Aub- rey Morphy, from her long and seri- ous illness. The badges, which were tested ning of Mrs, Morphy, have set the Guides off to a pace that must slow down as the months creep on nearer the summer examinations at school. But in the meantime for winter and spring, there will be a list issued soon which will give all those keen ones a chance to show what they are learning. The Patrol Leaders, at a recent meeting stated the ones that the patrols wanted, and the list will be considered. Jan. 21st is the date set for the meeting of the Provincial Executive in Oshawa, Many prominent women in Guiding in the province will be here that day. This should give the Guides, who are interested in First Class, a chance to see some of the different cords and cockades that denote the different positions occupied by various people, These differences are in position, not in rank. The whole family is like a chain: one link is just as im- portant as another. If one link, which may be a patrol leader or even a Brownie, fails in its duty, no mat- ter if another link, which may be a captain or a commissioner, comes up to the mark, the whole chain is weak- ened. Let every "link" in Oshawa be very sure that it is strong and sure. Welcome to the Rangers into the Oshawa Guide family. Rangers Judging by the number of girls who turned out for the organization meet- ing of a Rangers' Company in Osh- awa last evening there is every hope that such a company can stuiccessfully and quickly be put into operation. Miss Elsic Ross took the names of those who attended and led in a dis- cussion as to whether or not, if a Ranger Company were formed it should be a company of Sea Rang- ers. Those present were enthusias- tically in favor of this, However the decision of this matter will be left until a later date. It is certain, that Rangers will be formed, thus pro- viding girls in the city over the age of sixteen with the opportunity of carrying on the Guide work. A number of those who intended going to the meeting were unable to be there last evening, but they will be present at the next one which is to be held Thursday evening, January 15 th at eight o'clock in the Osh- awa Club rooms ,over the Bank of Commerce, Any girls who are in- terested in this movement are invited to come next Thursday and join the Rangers. It is also open to girls who have never been enrolled at Girl Guides, Second Oshawa Company The Second Oshawa Company ex- tended an invitation to the mothers of Guides or Brownies of this com- pany to attend a meeting of the Mothers' Council to be held in Christ Anglican Church at 8 o'clock on Jan- vary 14th, This is the first meeting of the year and all the mothers are urged to be on hand. Second Oshawa's first meeting of the year was held on January 7th and the new patrol leaders and seconds were elected. . The following Guides will be in charge of the different pat- rols during 1931. Oriole--Leader, ond, A. Harding. Robin--Leader, M. Andrews; Raike; A. Anderson; sec- sec~ | ond, J. Wilson. Bluebird---Leader, M. sec- ond, 1. Burke. Canary--Leader, M. Daniels; ond, G. James. Scarlet Tanager--Leader, I. Cope- land; second, M. Robertson. Molly Weales, the librarian, re- signed in order to join the new Rang- er Company and Kathleen Caommings was by popular vote made the new librarian. A letter was read to the company, which contained the news that Miss McDowell has been appointed captain owing to the resignation of former captain. Mrs Hicks. Next week Second Oshawa meet at 6.30 p.m. in Christ Anglican Church and there are a few vacancies for new girls. Any girl who wishes to join should do so at once. sec- Third Oshawa Company In the absence of Mrs, Ratcliffe who is in Simcoe, Ontario, giving training classes in advanced Guide work, the 3rd Oshawa was in charge of Miss Moyse, assisted by Miss Mundy and Miss Hazlewood. Miss Moyse introduced a new game and the girls had to resort to their good memories to be able to recall all the articles she had placed on a table in the small room, when they returned to their patrol corners. Miss Mundy told the interesting story of the Legend of St. Geoge and gave the girls a chance to see w much they could remember of the story in a game that was played after. The Orchids and the Cornflowers both made evelen points out of twelve, "Sur le Pont" is the name of a new song and dance that the 3rd company learned last evening. The girls seemed to like making bows like great ladies, soldiers, pricsts and the little street urchins. During pow-pow Miss Mundy read a letter that Marjory received from the little girl to whom she sent a "Welcome to Canada" Christmas gift. The others are looking forward to answers from their new Canadian TRAIL RANGERS THE TUXIS COLUMN -- -------- friends. AN ® | TUXIS BOYS Actlyity in Tuxis and Tail Rang- er groups in Oshawa will probably come back to normal next week. It has been rather below the mark during the ast two or three weeks, due to the holiday season and also to the Standard Training School be- ing held this week. It is encouraging to note, how- ever, the large number of leaders who are taking advantage of the training course for workers among boys, being given at the school. About a score of fellows are actively entered in this class, and the ideas they absorb there should be felt in C.S.E.T. work during the rest of the winter and in days to come, King Street Tuxis, The Christmas and New Year's geason must have heen one of in- dulgence on the part of many of our members and to that is attribut- ed 'the slim attendance at our last meeting, Fven our mentor had suffered a relapse and accordingly nis tournament, the week end at ¢amp, the nature study trip and other interesting work and play too. Well, there was her year, and the question ~"What was it worth to her /"--was answered." Drop CG.LT.? Never, while she qualified for membership. That year was worth to her a lot that could not even be. reckoned. How had she ever come to consider dropping out ?--being left behind? No question remained now. She knew that she would feel helpless no pragramme awaited we faith- fuls. Mr, Daniel Smith, one of our tormer members, who is now resid- ing at Eaton Hall Farm near Aurora was present with us for the even- ing as our guest. There will be no meeting to-night on account of the Leadership Train- ing School held this week at St Andrew's United Church, THE THREE PEANUTS Three little peanuts that feeling pretty gay Went for a roll down the street one autumn day.
