Following the scout meeting Robert Todd acted as chairman at a meeting of the parents of the scouts. C. W. Fleming, district representative of the Boy Scout Association, addressed the meeting. A group committee was formed, with the following members: Dr. W. J. Deadman, Howard Gallagher, William A. Fellowes and Richard Bullock. Scout Auxiliary (no date) The Aldershot Scout Ladies' Auxiliary met last night at the home of Mrs. W. E. Bainbridge, with the president, Mrs. W. G. Gayfer, in the chair. Plans were discussed for the Aldershot-Dundas Cub rally June 2 at Oaklands Park. A picnic will be held at La Salle [LaSalle] Park on June 18 for Cubs and Scouts and their mothers, with Mrs. W. A. Whelan, convener of the program. The Cub leaders, Lucy Gallagher and Florence De Graaf, reported that both packs were now full. Boys who wished to join the packs should telephone the leaders so that their names may be put on a waiting list. The need is urgent for new leaders and it was agreed to appeal for assistance through the churches and the Community Council. Mrs. Robert Todd was named convener of a badge committee and Mrs. Horace Biddle was appointed head of a group to buy out-grown Cub and Scout uniforms for resale.
