FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1944- 19-15 SCOUT NEVJ S The Selwyn House Boy Scout Troop under the direction of Scoutmaster John Dando has made excellent progress since he took it over last Fall, when Mr. Greenlees left. The members are extremely enthusiastic. This year, instead of having a Junior Troop as in preceding years, S. KI. Dando has formed a Wolf Cub Pack. This is made up of boys from T to ll, and prepares them for the day they enter the Troop at the :nge of 12. The membership of the Troop and Pack is as follows z- T R O O P EJGLE PJTROL BCLLDUG PJTROL OIVL PJTRUL H. blarkland, T.L. B. Klarkland, P.L. I. Bovey, P.L. Lindsay, Second. Seymour, Second.

The lan of Scouting and Cubbing as ori inated bv our late Chief Lord Baden- P - si 3 . i Powell, calls for a winter programme of preparation for the Summer months. During the past winter our Troop Programme has particularly stressed this aspect of Scout training. YYhen Spring comes, it will rind both Troop and Pack ready for the thrills that come from long hikes, food cooked in the open, tracking games, and the other many beneiits that result from a winter of labour indoors. Last Autumn, many of the boys from the Troop went out for a day's hike. Several Scouting games were played, after which the hikers cooked their dinners. Campbell was voted by all as having made the tastiest meal. He and many others passed their Second Class Cooking test during the day. Both Troop and Pack are planning at least two hikes to be held before the end of the Summer term. It is to be hoped that these will be as suc- cessful as the one held last October, and that the tests passed will surpass the number taken at that time. l l7l

SF.I.WYN IIOUSP SCHOOL INT.-XGAXINP Points are awarded each week to the Patrol or Six winning the most games and passing the most tests during the afternoon. The Sixes are fairly even, each having won the monthly prize twice. In Scouts the liagle Patrol has walked off with the Honour Pennant every month. The Annual Patrol Leaders' Banquet, held at the hlount Royal Hotel on February 24, 1945, was attended hy S. hl. llando, .-X.S.Nl. Aspinall, Troop Leader H. hlarkland, and Patrol Leaders B. hlarkland and Bovey. hilr. .I. M. Kannawin, who is in charge of the Overseas Unit ot' the Canadian Broadcasting Company, was guest speaker. The entertainment, provided hy Scouts and Cuhs, was excellent, The St. George's Drum and Fife Band, under the leadership of Acting Bandmaster Douglas Deeks, played almost continuously during the meal. hlemhers of the Strathcona, St. George's, lst. N.D.G., and VVoodlands Troops acted in short plays. lfour Cuhs from the Hampstead Pack sang. An enjoyahlc time was had hy all the 900 Scouters and Patrol Leaders present., Summer Scouting, with its hikes and camps, relies almost entirely on the co-operation ot' parents. Our summer ventures can only he a success if we have full turn-outs for them. XVe can only have full attendance if parents realize the great, various values that the game of Scouting contains. LLD. and H.M. SPORTS EWS CIQICIQHT' 1944 Chief interest this term centred around the play ol- the Under I3 team. This team contained much promising material, and consideralile prcgress was made in its develop- ment, although the season was regrettahly short. Several of the players were enthusiastic enough to practise hard on their own during the summer holidays, and will reap their reward in the coming season. It isa pity that this enthusiasm forthe game was not shared hy some of the older hoys who will, as a result, find themselves handicapped later at board- ing school. MATCHES UNDER I3 v. L. C. C. at Royal .-Xve. Thurs. May 13th. S. H. S. won the toss and made a good start, hlarler hitting his first ball over the fence for 6. Later, Ross I hatted very soundly for 36 runs, punishing anything on the leg side severely. However, with the end hatsmen failing rather dismally, our total was only 67. L. C. C. hegan disastrously, hut recovered thanks to dropped catches, and, with the Selwyn House howling soon losing its length and accuracy, ran up HS for the loss of 7 wkts. Ross took 3 wkts. and Sharwtzod, Paterson and hlarler one each. Result :- Lost. S. H. S. 6'. L. C. C. H8 for T. IWI
