BRONZE ARROWHEAD COURSE The Bronze Arrowhead course for * patrol Leaders, prospective Patrol Lead- ers or Seconds will be held this year at the Athol Street Scout Hall, March 19th and 20th. The evening course on Friday will commence about 7.00 p.m., and the Saturday courses will begin at 9 am, and at 1 pi. in the afternoon. taken this course before, I know what valuable information can be gleaned at this course by those really interested in Patrol Leadership. A boy who has not taken this course really does not know how to be an efficient Patrol Leader. Your Scout- master has the necessary forms for application, and if you are acc » you will be able to attend this fine course. Incidentally, those who at- tended it last year say that It wasn't all work, for they had a few interesting diversions from note taking through- ut the course. > © SCRUB! SCRUB!

The Athol Street Head- quarters has had a complete inside int job done, and the offices of the Brecuitive Commissioner have taken on a modern touch with glass walls. The Hillcroft Street Headquarters has been thoroughly touched up by the Rover Crew of the 8th Oshawa, and by Group Committee members. As this is the time that everyone realizes that spring and spring-cleaning is on the way, let's keep the halls up to the usual stand- ards. NGRATULATIONS-- 0 COMMISSIONERS! Flowers to Comniissioners Bateman, Alker and Anderson and their efficient colleagues for a splendid job of Troop- Pack visits. For many years : Troops never saw a Commissioner, or Staff man, and because of this they lost the Assoclagion touch. But now that these Scoufers aré out on Staff visits, Scouting in Oshawa 'is being brought into closer contact with the central office. These visits, made in. an effort to help those Scoutérs that may need it, and to encourage those Scout- ers that do not need it, have a very reassuring effect on everyone.

J Gummow showed us the Lynx patrol version of an afternoon in a bakery. Dickson certainly should get indiges- tion from that cake he bought! All these things would have been enough to make it a good meeting, but the highlight of the evening was the Investiture of Tom Hill. Tom is one of the newer members of the Troop, and Nosey thinks he has done a fine job of his Tenderfoot Work. The Leaders are rather disappointed with the response from the troop. After all their sales talks (five), only twelve boys have ordered sweatshirts, Nosey has ordered one; have you? I hope that all this whitewash will partially make up for the. abse of Nosey"s epistle, which he had to ignore this week due to sickness.

Nosey's friend, FLASH", 6th OSHAWA TROOP meeting opened in the usual manner. Inspection was held in patrol corners and dues were collected. The boys were given the laws and their meanings, and a good deal of the boys do not know what they mean. After twenty minutes of thls Gus' floor- hockey team played off with Nell's team. They had to play two minutes overtime in order to arrive at the final score of 3-2 for Gus' team. During the meeting Mr. Knight visited the troop and talked with the S.M. while the ASM. tested us on the laws and' their meanings. Immediately after this we had a game called Pirates' lair. A boy was blindfolded and a whistle was hung on his neck in such a manner that it nearly touches the floor, Other to sneak up and blow the whistle without being touched.

So long, Gabby, 7th OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS After recuperating from what can be termed as the best Banquet in years, the Seventh is now back to the duties carried on bafore One noticeable dif- ference, however, is the presence of new es--many «! t.emw, a aumber of which the owners can oe rightly proud. We speak of the King's Scout badges and the Bushman's Thongs in parti- cular, but each in itself is just as im- portant as the other. We would like to take this opportunity to say many thanks to all connected with the Ban- uet for their help in bringing it to the success that all found present, The first thing to come on the menu for last Monday's meeting, following the opening, was the patrol period. It saw the different patrols doing their to make time of this sort really beneficial. It saw too, many mad faces --m at 1s, because they didn't earn the badge that has been the hankering of the individual for quite some time. Those faces have only themselves to blame.

Now they realize just how nice it would have been to have seen through such an award at the Banquet. 'Don't let it happen again, is about all the advice we can give you at this time, s0--"a word to the wise is sufficient", as the old proverb goes. But we're wandering away from the meeting. Following the patrol period came @ short but effective first aid dis- cussion which led up to the causes of shock. Rather than being a talk, it took on the #ppearances of a question- naire, ably taken care of by the Scout- mi r. The questions were asked by New?

MURDOCH'S Insurance Service Mr. Dunk, while the answers came from the intelligent (hm-m, even the word in itself seems just that) members of the troop. Before we go any farther, however, we mustn't forget the part that little Normie Mepstead played. While the mentioned intelligent cha- racters popped up with their replies, little Normie sat rocking and forth with laughter just (so we gather) to keep us all amused. Wasn't that nice if him? Our visitor for the evening was one Don Houlden For him a special knot relay was run off and was won, we could say 'of course' (but we don't, be- cause the troop has. an Eagle patrol very good on the knots too) by the Lynx patrol. Later on, the co-la-la of all troop yells was formed in the mouths of the boys, and they tell us that a special trip to the moon had to be made to retrieve a certain roof that belongs over our heads on Mon- day higina, Getting back, Mr. Houlden concluded his visit with a very effec- tive few words, in wh.ch he spoke highly of the Seventh, Don! Can we put out our welcome mat to you more often, say, once a week? Thus ends our little chin wag for another week, ye mightly and influ- ential all, and from now on as ever, more power you. SNOOPY. 5th OSHAWA SCOUT NEWS Last week, In the absence of Scouter Sutton our meeting was led by Scouter Drummond and Scouter Kellington. Ron Bryant broke the flag and the patrols went to their corners to collect the dues. After some snappy hand- signals by Scouter Drummond the boys were lined up and a strict inspection was taken. r Patrol competition is well under way now and everything counts, Church or Sunday School, clean handkerchiefs, polished shoes, absenties, lates and clean teeth, so don't forget all those things next week, eh fellows? en the Inspection was over we played a quick game of "Crows and Cranes" followed by an instruction per- fod. Some boys learned signalling, some learned lashing and others learned First Ald. A game of "Sleeping Pirates" was followed a grim game of "Brit- ish Bulldog". After the games the fel- lows put on thelr hats and scarfs and crawled into the horseshoe. Gord Sly- man lowered the flag and after the Prayers were sald the boys broke off for the night I know last Tuesday was a pretty bad night but try to be on hand next week because some of our new Bcouts are going to be invested. BUSTER. 14th OSHAWA WOLF CUB PACK Hello, everybody, here is the news and nonsense of the 14th, Meeting opened with dues and roll call and then everyone into lairs for Grand Howl and it was a good Grand Howl. We had inspection of Sixes, and took points off Cubs who. had untidy uniforms and those who dkin't clean their teeth--we took very, very few points off we are happy to say. Rikki took the cubs in a game called CARS, and Akela_ followed it with a Book Balancing Relay. Our 8ix Competition his best behaviour and reall for those points for games an tion and conduct. Rikki took the Cubs in another game called Circle Weavers. Then came Instruction--the older boys took Semaphore and the remain- der of Cubs really practised the Bowline Knot--how to tle it, the reason for using it, and then we had a relay on it. I think every cub in the 14th knows the Bowline now, After Instruction we played Belt the Boy--and something funny happened. We have a new leader, called Baloo, who has never seen that game Fayed before, and we didn't explain it - cause every Cub knows how it goes-- and she didn't ask. Well, when the Cub next to her got the <rap and hit her with it, she just stood and didn't know what to do, so/the Cub kept on hitting her--she so figured it out. (Onur steap doesn't huxt very much.) Gary Taylor was presented with his 3rd year service star. Grand Howl and Prayer closed our meeting, Points: Whites 34, Tawny 29, Brown 28, Red 27. | P.8.--Keep saving that newspaper, | cubs.
