ISCOUTING AROUND A, SCOUTS CANADA Bes leader, itcan be fun by Robin Nutbrown Do you know that for every boy in Scouting ~ today, there's another boy who would like to be but can't and that he can't because there are no adults in the neighbourhood who are prepared to give some of their time? Did you know that Scouting has a con- servation program all its own - called Trees for Canada? We've planted 15 million seedlings during the past six years! Did you know that ideas such as inner-city Scouting, in-school Scouting, Scouting with the Handicapped and Scouting with native boys are bringing Scouting to boys who had never even heard the word Scouting? Did you know that today one out of every 10 Canadian boys of Scouting age is in Scouting? We'd like to make it one of every five! We would like to include your kids and you. There is just one reason Scouting has grown to become the largest youth movement in the free world. That reason - PEOPLE! People ~just like you. More than a million and a half of y them. More than eighty thousand in Canada. Men and women who have discovered that Scouting is not only fun and worthwhile for kids - but fun, yes, fun and worthwhile for adults. If Scouting is to serve your children, and most kids would like to join-se need more adults. Don't worry about knowing how to handle it' we don't send you in cold to meet a gang of energetic kids. Training sessions, handbooks and special periodicals help you to Be Prepared! No experience necessary - we'll provide the know-how and skills. The most important jobs in Scouting are those of Beaver leaders, Pack and Troop Scouters, Venturer advisors and Rover crew advisors - for they work directly with young people - counselling, advising, teaching, sharing, setting an example. These are jobs for men and women who are young at heart. As a resource person you can also enrich boys' lives by passing along your special vocational skills or hobbies to Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers. Scouting of- +---fers literaily hundreds of opportunities in fields ranging from art to sports - from computers to stamp collecting. The resource person is the guide to learning the fun- damentals of a special skill - and can be an important influence on the characters of the boys. Countless examples prove that boys have found their life-long work from a beginning in badge programs. Perhaps you'd rather not work directly with boys. Okay, you can help Scouting by serving in other ways. For example, as a section or group committee member you would work mainly with other committee members to provide the section or group with equipment and materials for special activities and handle some of the paperwork. There are also numerous administrative and Service Team positions needing your attention at the provincial, regional and district council levels. Look at the times - and look at your time. If you are interested, give our district com- missioner, Ernie Latanville a call today (549- 8173). We'll be glad to start you off as a leader in Scouting. The Boy He ba sure of where to go. Or what he ought to do. His hope ranges through a dozen fields, although his skills are few; And unless someone lends a hand to guide him on his way, There may be one more problem child, whose keep we all must pay. So why not take a little time, to sit down with him now, And find out what he likes to do, and where he lives, and how. For there's a place for everyone, plus a job he can do, If a friend would only show the way, that friend might well be you. Note: We would like to congratulate Bill Stevens from Penetang who recently received the "Thanks Badge"' for the hard work he has done for Scouting.
