Our time for Scouting this term has been limited to Monday afternoons from 4-5, for the troop as a whole, while those members who did not take Boxing had another parade on Fridays at the same time.

We welcome two new members to the troop in P. A. Lockwood, who has joined the Peewit Patrol, and D. Cole the Woodpigeons.

It is hoped that as many scouts as possible will take their second class test next term.

On April 23rd, which is St. George's Day, there is going to be a parade of the York Scouts' Association in the Big Hall, at St. Peter's School, at 6-30 p.m., and any of tfie troop who care to attend in uniform will be welcome, and should assemble near the Gymnasium at 6-15 p.m.

On May 6th, the Silver Jubilee of our King's Accession, the York Scouts are lighting a beacon fire at 10 p.m. on Garrow Hill, to the North-East of Heslington, to link up with the beacon chain throughout the kingdom to commemorate this occasion.

CUB REPORT.

This term we have had a competition between the Sixes, which included all Cub work, games, and general efficiency. This, after a very even contest, was eventually won by the Yellow Six. It put everybody on their mettle, and, at times, full marks were merited all round.

As Buckler was unable to be present at most of the meetings, owing to Rugger, Hugh Ping acted as leader of the Yellow Six instead.

Inter-Six Hockey matches and Relay Races, besides many sense-training games have occupied our meetings; while nearly every week we have acted either a play or Charades.

Besides playing games we have also concentrated on passing tests for our 1st Stars. Everyone in the Pack is now well on the way to getting their 1st Star, and, in some cases, only one more test has to be passed.
