Colâ€" onel Baden Powell used the dangâ€" ers and the hardships that beset them as a motive power for good, and organized the lads into a body of fearless public spirited, discipâ€" lined "SCOUTS8," who rendered really useful service to the beleaâ€" guered garrison. Since then the stimulation to national service has been the best proof of the need of such training, and girls too have claimed to have a share in it. The great new game of advent. ure and service quickly found enâ€" thusiastic players among the boys and giris of Canada many of whom inherited from pioneer forefathers a natural aptitude for campcraft, tracking, swimming and winter sports. In 1909 the year when King Edward VIL called for a raily at the crystal palace in London, a boy Scout troop was organized in Beamsville by the Rev, Wilkinson and to the Niagara Belt belongs also the honour of sponsoring the first Girl Guide company in Canâ€" ada.
