They rally have a past to be proud of during the four years of German occupation, in fact, they even hid some of our own fellows when they attacked the town and got separated from the main body of troops.

A _King‘s Scout from an Ontario Troop, who is now servin% with His Majesty‘s Canâ€" adian Forces in Belgium, %artially answers this question, when, on writing to the Junior Leader, a publication from Ottawa for P.L.‘s, said, in part, "I met a couple of Bellg.‘ian Scouts the other day and we had quite a time of it. The could speak a little English and I could speak a little French and with a few hand signs thrown in, we managed to convey to each pther what we were talking about, It was fun while it lasted.

If, however, we gain a surplus, this will be disposed of â€"at a public auction. A purchasing agency for the toy shop has been formed, composing of the troop leader and two patrol leader, Bob McPhee ,Q.M., and Bruce Prentice. Each patrol will give them their requisitions and the agency will discuss the requirements and act accordingly.

It can be seen from the letter I quoted, that Scouts, and the Scoutâ€" ing Spirit can not be quelled by disâ€" tation, brute foree nor even by the threat of certain death. It can only be eliminated if the SRirit goes. Therefore it is up to the Scouts, Scouters, ands those interested in the movement, to keeg the fiery flame of the Scouting Spirit burnâ€" ing in our time so that those after us may also benefit from the Broâ€" therhood of Scouting. now you are wearing colored scarves.
