COMMENCEMENT ANNUAL N<9 Kent, England. This trophy has been keenly competed for each month by the different patrdls. The total marks for the trophy, up till April, are as follows: Eagles, 601; Otters, 5402; Fox, 493; Beaver, 429. The Eagle Patrol won the trophy for the months of October, December, January and February. The Otters captured it for November, and the Fox for March. It is only fair to the Beavers to mention that their patrol is not up to the same strength as the others, having several new scouts, but they show great promise. One of the new scouts, Allan Prevost, has already won fame in knot tying, being the only boy who has beaten Peter Martin of the Eagles, who has been the troop knot champion since the competition for the trophy opened. Promoting further the friendly relation between ourselves and the First Hythe Troop, England, the donors of our trophy, we sent them a message of congratulation on the occasion of their 21st birthday recently. An effort was made during the year to run a Troop Magazine, called the Owlet, but owing to difficulty in printing the publication had to be abandoned after the second issue, to the deep disappoint- ment of both editors and subscribers. In addition to their regular meetings the Scouts have enjoyed a number of very pleasant social evenings during the year, including a surprise party to the Girl Guides and an interchange of visits with the Sardis Troop. The three-day camp at Easter was a great success. Tents were pitched on a pleasant site on the banks of the Chilliwack River. Each morning started with a wash in the cold river water, followed by a run or walk while the patrol on duty prepared a breakfast to which ample justice was done. The meal was followed by a general clean-up of the camp, in preparation for inspec- tion, which followed the parade for prayers and Flag breaking at 10 o’clock. The afternoons were spent in hiking and nature study, collecting flowers, ferns, etc., while in the evenings athletics and scout training were indulged in, followed by a happy sing-song around the camp fire,—then prayers and t) bed. The camp had many visitors, the Fish Warden being our most regular and interested caller. He gave us much useful information about the surrounding country, and commended us on the neat appearance of our camp, and the excellent state in which we left the site after we used it last year. The Executive of the local Scout Association for the year included: Rey. G. H. Raley, Chairman; Miss R. McGregor, Secretary; Mr. P. F. Pirie; Mr. E. F. Peake; Miss J. F. M. Carter. Wolf Cubs HE WOLF CUB PACK at Coqualeetza was formed early in the new year, 1930. At the first meeting the patrols, or sixes, were formed and the leaders, or sixers, chosen. The packs started with two sixes, the Browns, under Sixer Johnny Williams, and the Blacks, under Sixer Charles Snow. These two sixes showed great keenness and made rapid strides in the Cub work. Occasionally inter-six knot- tying competitions were held. Many of the Cubs are able to tie 10 or 11 knots correctly. At the end of April it was decided to enlarge the pack by one six, and the Greys were formed, with Simon Lewis, formerly of the Blacks, as Sixer. The Cubs are anxiously awaiting their uniforms, and hope, on Field Day, to show how smart they can be. The Pack wishes to thank Miss MacGregor and Mrs. Sainsbury for their invaluable assistance with the uniforms. The Pack, under the control of Mr. Peake, ably assisted by Patrol Leader George Brown, now stands as follows: BROWNS BLACKS Greys Sixer Johnny Williams Siver Charles Snow Sixer Simon Lewis Cub Herbert Assu Cub Billy Roberts Cub Stanley Modeste Cub Donald Gladstone Cub Elmer Pollard Cub Phillip Clark Cub Roy Manson Cub Walter Joe Cub Elmer Dick Cub Norman Smith Cub Sidney Wilson Cub Franzen Stokan Cub Raymond Calder Cub Edward Lewis Cub Walter Parnell The Girl Guides UR Girl Guide Company is also making good progress.
