The year started orl' with four patrols and about twenty-six scouts G. Nliller was chosen as Troop Leader, and the four old patrols, Wolves, Lions, Foxes, N Hyenas, were led by R. Lundon, J. Powell, J. Bishop, and S. Macnutt respectively. But Scouting became so popular that four new patrols were organized, the Patrol Leaders being, W. Leslie, H. Kerr, B. Porteous, and S. Johnston. There were now about Fifty scouts in the Troop. Throughout September and October we held our meetings on the School lawn, occasionally going up to the mountain for games etc. 3 when the colder weather came on fn November we held our meetings in the hall at Headquarters. About this time there were so many new scouts that we were obliged to form two new patrols, whose Patrol Leaders were H. Peck and D. Russel. ln the latter part of December the Scout Workshop was opened at Headquarters, and we had to hold our meetings in a classroom at the School. Scouts come to the workshop from all over the city to mend and paint old toys to give away to poor children as Christmas presents. 10,600 toys were repaired by the Scouts at the Workshop this year. On .-Xrmistice Day the Troop gave a very impressive display. Mr. W'anstall obtained a bugler from the Black W'atch OfC2lI13.Cl2l who played the Last Post and the Reveille. Hr. Rush has very kindly been helping us at our Troop meetings, and with our badge work. By this time about sixty per cent of the Scouts had their Second Class, while the Troop Leader and Patrol Leader W. Leslie had obtained their First Class badges and All-Round cords fgrade Al. .-Xt Christmas there was an entertainment given at Victoria Hall, W'estmount,with a showing of the Camp Tamaracouta Film. :Xfter Christmas we resumed our meetings at Headquarters, the toy repair shop being closed.
