ST. PETER'S JUNIOR -TROOP.
At the beginning of term we devoted all our Scout time in helping to clear the garden of Albany House of trees and shrubs. Some we chopped down and others we pulled up by the roots after loosening the surrounding soil.
We had a magnificent tidying up bonfire one day towards the end of October, which was like " the burning fiery furnace " to approach.
We again collected and distributed old toys, books, etc., to some poor York children just after term ended.
Patrol Leader Dench and Scouts Wharldall and Wilson accompanied the Scoutmaster to the new Water Lane Estate and Huntington Road, where the gifts were much appreciated.
CUB REPORT.
We welcome the following new members to the Pack:— Yellow Six : R. Sykes and Shearsmith Blue Six : G. Janes, Edinger and Firth. Red Six: D. Janes, J. Dench and Sim.
Of these, both D. and G. Janes had already their first stars, and we hope that the others will quickly follow in their footsteps.
Legat obtained his first star this term and is the Red Sixer. W. Stratton and E. Denison are in command of the Blue and Yellow Sixes respectively.
The Yellow and Red Sixes tied in the Inter-Six competition with seventeen points each, and the Blue Six was three points behind.
