Several of the Troops have shown «considerable progress in recent weeks which doss not show in the above figures, and with a careful apâ€" plication of the Scout programme by the leaders and the determination on the part of the bovs to be real First Class Szouts, the local situation should continue to improve. It is with the highest hoves that we look forward to the year ahead, and say "thank you" to the leaders and bovs who have done so much in the past year. Beoy Scouts Assist in CDC First Aid Demonstrations The call has reached us forâ€" a numâ€" ber of Scouts to assist in demonstrating First Aid and artificial respiration in connection with the classes being conâ€" ducted by Civilian Defence Committee officials. As far as possible all Troops will be represented in this effort, and the bovs will not only ke able to help demonstrate to the classes, but also will be able to vick up some pointers themselves in practical First Aid. When it was decided that the Scout organizâ€" aton was to work with the Medical Serâ€" vices BRranch, their knowledge of First Aid was a big point in bringing about this decision.> Since that time the boys have had several opportunities of dem. onstrating their ability, and have alâ€" ways proved their willingness by being right on the job. Scoutmasters will be passing information on to their boys as to time and place of these demonstraâ€" tions, and they are being arranged so as not to interfere with Troop msetings.

The Court of Honour meeting held last Thursday dGecided that Monday evenings would be used for boatâ€"building, thus leaving Tuesdays free for other Scout work. It is also planned that the Troop will, during the next few weeks, concentrate on Pirst Aid work. This is in keeping with the general practice locally, and the trainâ€" ing will enable the Scouts to be just that much more useful in their work with the Civilian Defence Committee.
