a ------ a ---- a =e et omental area a -------------------- \ Exciting year for 1st Port Another exciting/and adven- turous year in Scouting is near. First Port Perry Scout Group is anticipating that a large number of boys will enroll this year. Registration will be 6:30 Sept. 18 at Church of the Ascension for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. - Scouting programs are outlined according to the bylaws, policies and procedures of Boy Scouts of Canada, which dictate the leader to boy ratio, which should not be exceeded, : Although 1st Port Perry has some excellent, well trained leaders, they are going to require more this year, Last year, they had 50 boys and 12 leaders. Unfor- tunately, some of these leaders have had to leave or have taken a different position and must be replaced. The Group Committee provides an excellent benefit package. They pay for all leadership train- ing sessions and will reimburse the cost of a leader's uniform. Prospective leaders can look forward to having the opportuni- ty of sharing experiences and - having. fun while helping in the proper development of our com- munity's youth. -Scouting can prove to be one of the most rewar- ding experiences of your life. Last year, the Group Commit- tee had 9 members; this year, they would like to add more members in positions such as transportation co-ordinator; ban-, quet organizer and event person. The group committee meets generally once a month for about two hours. This team, made up of some leaders and other dedicated citizens, co-ordinates and controls the financial and logistics aspects of 1st Port Perry Scouting movement. This year they helped organize and host several Pine Ridge District events such as Beaver Winter Fun Day, Kub Kar Rally and annual Cuboree as well as entering a float in the Santa Claus Parade, holding a family Christmas party and helping with fundraising. If you have some time you can devote to this worthy activity, either as.a leader or as a member of the Group Committee, please contact Ellen Greenough at 985-8047 or come out to registra- tion night Sept. 18 at 6:30, Church of the Ascension Hall.

As you can see, Scouting plays a big part in the overall healthy development of the boys of the community. Scouting is an old organization, but new leaders help keep the organization in step with the times. Therefore your help is greatly needed. Without your help, the boss will not have such a fine opportunity to learn and share with others. Most section leaders and group committee members take on their responsibilities without having had previous Scouting ex- PORT PERRY STAR <0 Todsday Sdpretitibs 12) TW¥ -- Perry Scouts perience.
