Brentwood College Magazine The Scout Troop A CONSIDERABLE influx of new members necessitated a reshuffling of the former patrols, and the establishment of a new one, making five in all. Six boys, all from the United States, were placed in one patrol, aptly named Eagle, under the leadership of Clarke and Munger. The former patrols were turned over to the care of Stephens, Holmes, Nairn and Worsley, with Greer, Whittall, Taylor and Fleming as their respective seconds. Foot, Gillespie A., and Mackenzie did a fine job as junior asssitants to Mr. Bott. Conforming to the new policy of the troop, one investiture each term was held for the purpose of enrolling new Scouts. These ceremonies took the form of candlelight services in the chapel. During the year, the following new Scouts were enrolled: Molson, Wills, Maude, Schinbein, Whitney, French, Calhoun, McClean, Conibear and Belyea. During the Christmas term, while the new Scouts were learning the rudi- ments of Scouting, a St. John ' s Ambulance class was begun for the advanced Scouts. Under the guidance of Mr. H. Stokes, one of the Association ' s instruc- tors, this group spent fourteen weeks delving into the intricacies of bone struc- ture, anatomy, first-aid and ambulance work. As a result, the entire class of seventeen members, passed Dr. Bassett ' s examination with honours, and were awarded certificates by the Association. Foot was chosen the Troops ' representative to the Green Bar Patrol Leader ' s conference, held in Tacoma, Washington. Mr. Bott, our Scoutmaster, had been placed in charge of the British Columbia delegation, and, in response to the toast to the Canadian Scouts attending the convention, he gave a short talk on Internationalism in Scouting. In the Easter term we were hosts to the Nanaimo Scouts, when they spent a week-end at the College. Following a soccer match, which the college Scouts won, a joint meeting was held in the gymnasium; the local Sea Scouts also took part. On behalf of the Victoria district, Major Wise spoke a few words of welcome to the Up-Island Scouts. A return visit to Nanaimo was made a fort- night later, when Wills and Shields accompanied the Scoutmaster and the Dis- trict Commissioners on a trip north for an Upper-Island rally. On the occasion of the visit to Victoria of His Excellency, the Governor- General, Chief Scout for Canada, the troop was represented at the Victoria dis- trict rally held in Beacon Hill Park. At this affair, Mr. E. W. Hamber, Lieu- tenant-Governor of the Province, was invested as a Tenderfoot Scout. During the summer-term, it was with pleasure we received His Honour ' s acceptance of our invitation to become an honourary Scout of the College Troop. We look forward to having him attend one of our meetings in the early autumn. [Page Twenty-Three]
