ST. PETER'S SCHOOL JUNIOR TROOP.

By kind permission of Colonel barley we held our annual camp at Aldby Park, Buttercrambe, Nr. Stamford Bridge, from Friday, July 15th (St. Swithin's Day) to Tuesday, July 19th.

The following three Patrols attended:—

Curlews.

Dench (ma.).

Miller.

Wharldall.

Duffield.

Reynolds.

Taylor.

Woodpigeons.

Cookson. Hey. Buckle. Penty (ma.). Thompson. Harnby. Peewits. Stratton (ma.). Warren. Gledhill. Wilson. Hart. Sheriff.

It rained according to custom on the Friday and so we were " housed " in the saddle room and loft of the stables of the Hall, where we made ourselves very comfortable. Had it not been for Colonel Darley's kindness we could not have stayed in camp the first night as it pelted down all the afternoon and night.

Saturday was a glorious day, bright hot sunshine with a drying wind, so we were able to pitch the camp on a comparatively dry site just after noon. -

On the Sunday morning we cycled over to Bossall and attended Church there, and in the afternoon entertained a number of visitors, Sunday afternoon, between 3-0 and 6-0 p.m., being set apart.as " Visitors Day."

Monday was a full day with our usual Regatta on the Derwent at Stamford Bridge, from 6-9-30, followed by Camp Fire and Sing-Song.

On the Tuesday morning we struck canvas and cleared up, followed by a bathe at the Mill Weir. After lunch we played games and the main party left by bikes about 4-0 p.m. after a most enjoyable week-end.

We were very indebted to Mr. Penty for transporting kit to and from Camp in his two ton lorry which enabled us to get all aboard without trouble.

SCOUTS.

We have had a very successful term, particularly so as we were able to have our annual camp. This was the first camp at which we had been together as a troop, and it proved to be a great success. We went to Aldby Park, Buttercrambe, a perfect camp site, and were favoured with remarkably good weather. The journey to and from camp was made partly on foot and partly on bicycle, the greater part of the materials being taken on the trek-cart. Much good work was done while in camp, and the patrols showed great keeness in the inter-patrol competition which was won by the Hounds patrol, by a very narrow margin. We all enjoyed ourselves very much and look forward to the next camp.

Parades have been very well attended throughout the term and we have had some very instructive and amusing games. Many second class tests have been passed, but it must be remembered that first class tests need a good deal of work before they can be passed, next term there will be many opportunities for these more difficult tests. 75
