Girl Guide Report

MISS D. MILSOM, Guide Captain
MRS. B. MacKENZIE, Guide Lieutenant

This has been a busy and interesting year for the 54th 1.0.D.E. Company of Girl Guides
With the enthusiastic support of Brown Owl Miss MacKay, they have been enabled to study
handicraft. Miss Aust of Columbian College has supervised carding, spinning, dyeing and
weaving of wool. The Guides sent an exhibit of handicraft to Victoria for the Annual Con-
vention of Guiders at which our District Commissioner, Mrs. A. H. Charlton, gave an address
on “Indian Guide Companies, Packs and Crafts.” It received very favorable comment.

Mrs. MacKenzie, our Lieutenant, has supervised a Household Science project in which
Guides have learned home planning, budgeting, cooking, etc., and made very interesting
Household Science scrap books and recipe books. Miss Newington, an ex-guide and good
friend of the 54th I.0.D.E. Company, has taken sewing and knitting classes with the Guides
once a week and they have done some very good work under her supervision.

Guide and Scout Sunday was held on June 10th, when Princpial Raley delivered an

address.
Girl Guide Hike

The Guide hike was the climax to a happy year. Early in the morning of June 13th,
Guides were up and about preparing lunches and doing all things necessary for a day in the
open. At nine o'clock all was ready and the Ccmpany started on their trek to Cultus Lake.
A plentiful supply of berries by the wayside retarded the hikers but lessened no wit the
pleasure of the trip. At last Cultus Lake was reached and Guides were soon “exploring,” or
paddling or gathering nature specimens. At five o'clock Miss A. MacKay arrived with more
good things to eat. Later the truck arrived and Guides soon scrambled on and so back to
Coqualeetza tired and happy and quite content with the day.

Coqualeetza Cadets

CAPT. JP. IF, JPIURINE

The Coqualeetza Cadet Corps was inspected by Captain MacBrayne, M.C., on June 5,
1934. He was well pleased with the smart appearance of the Cadets.

The Corps has won the I.0.D.E. Shield for four years in succession and are optimistic
about winning it again.

Corporal Vincent Wells won the special medal for the D.C.R.A. match, while Cadet
Charlie Yeltadzie won the Wright Challenge Cup. A team was also entered in the Imperial
Challenge Shield competition.

The following N.C.O.’s were responsible for the success of the Corps. Sergt. O. Adams,
Cpl. V. Wells, Cpl. Allen Young, Cpl. C. Mathews, Cpl. F. Williams.

Coqualeetza Scouts

PF, JPIURIDE

The Coqualeetza Troop has maintained their organization and most of the Scouts have
passed their Second Class, so it is hoped that next year they will be in good shape for badge
work.

The Troop has undertaken Scout gardens this year and a number have some very nice
plots: those who are successful will win their gardener’s badge.

The Beaver Patrol won the Bronze Statue for 1933-34 which is competed for annually.
The Eagle Patrol was a very close second.

Oliver Adams is the Troop Leader with Patrol Leader Wells with the Beavers: Patrol
Leader Young with the Otters; Patrol Leader Mathews with the Eagles and Patrol Leader

Calder with the Fox.
Scout Hike

June 13th, 1934

The Coqualeetza Scouts left the school by truck bound for the foot of Elk Mountain,
which they were determined to conquer before the day was out.

The actual ascent of Elk mountain began at 8:40 a.m. and soon all were wading through
bracken, dodging around, under and over fallen trees, climbing, climbing. Warm—yes, and
thankful for the shade offered by the trees.

Our first stop was made at the waterhole, where many drank their fill knowing it would
be some time before they met water again. From this spot the real climbing began, and fre-
quent rests at regular intervals were called.
