The idealâ€" ism and energy of young people can be a vital and potent force in a democratic community; it is to give practical expression to this to play a leading and sensitive role in national and international life, and also, that young people today are concerned that their contribution be as direct and as that the youth of our country is more anxious than ever before The Scouts, coached by ASM Ernie Ferguson, managed to eke out a win over the Rangers in a fiercely contested game.
