"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" Scouting Canada committed to environmental awareness By Lloyd Greenough Since the late 1940s, Scout- ing in Canada has been con- scious of protecting our environ- ment. As you know, Scouting Week-ender demonstration was a success News by Florence Ashton All those who attended the "Week-ender Wear" demonstra- tion by Brenda Stone last Mon- day evening enjoyed a fun time. Brenda had us all in fits of laughter as she modeled some of her fashions. Then followed some of our local ladies model- ing some lovely outfits. Every- one was given the opportunity to purchase any of the fashions with the Kirk Guild donating any profit from the sales to the three young people in the con- gregation who will be attending the Triennium at Purdue Uni- versity in Indiana in July. I un- derstand sales were good, so this is encouraging. A variety of delicious desserts, tea and cof- fee were served at the begin- ning of the evening. The Eleanor Knight group of the Women's Missionary Socie- ty will meet at the home of Ray Death on Wednesday afternoon at 2 p.m. It is euchre night again at the Ashburn Community Centre on Thursday evening at 8 p.m. For those who enjoy playing cards, come along and have a good eve- ning. has been practising lightweight camping, no trace camping, the removal of all garbage from campsites and conservation ar- eas through their programs. Through major good turns, the movement has also been busy "Pitching In" to keep litter to a minimum. Our groups are en- couraged to earn the World Conservation Badge which stresses an awareness of dwin- dling and misused resources and promotes action to use them more wisely. Trees for Canada is another example of Scouting, continued commitment to environmental awareness and action. In its 19th year, the program shows no signs of letting up. Canadian Scouting has planted more than 35 million trees, with more than 12 million in Ontario since the program began. Think about what it means to plant a tree. It's an act of hope and optimism for the future. It's also a valuable addition to the environment. Trees for Canada provides groups with a worthwhile con- servation program. At the same time, money is raised for all lev- els of Scouting with a share of the funds used to support third world community development projects. Again this year 1st Port Perry Beavers, Cubs and Scouts along with other groups in Pine Ridge District participated in plant- ing "Trees for Canada" around their community. Scouting, besides leaving the campsite cleaner for the next camper, the world cleaner for the next generation, helping to grow the next generation of trees and helps develop the next generation of citizens. We must all pledge our con- tinued support to this number one world-wide concern if we are to enjoy living on this plan- et.
