Many of the Scouts are pictured above In front of the Matterhorn. See story for details. 1st Port Perry Scouts back from European adventure Ten local Scouts will have some very interesting stories to tell when their teachers assi the customary "What I Did On My Summer Vacation" essay. The essays might include sto- ries about topless beaches, le- galized prostitution, and pop machines that dispense beer. Those are just a few of the cul- tural differences members of the 1st Port Perry Scouts and their two leaders encountered while on a two-week backpack- ing trip through Europe. Taking part in the trip were Scouts Matt Dufoe, Jon Sand- ers, Greg Ranieri, Cam Flieler, Shaun Mackay, Rod Gree- nough, Bob Brown, Brad Rich- ardson, David Nowak, and Jeff Morden, along with leaders Lar- ry Emmerson and Bill McCul- lough. "It couldn't have been a better trip," Mr. Emmerson told the Port Perry Star. "Nothing went" wrong." He commended the Scouts, who range in age from 12-15, for their excellent behavior and their maturity. "It was surprising to see how the boys handled themselves," Mr. Emmerson said. "If I had given them the itinerary, I'm sure they would have made it through Europe themselves." In addition to setting up camp, the Scouts were in charge of buying their own food, wash- ing their own clothes, and bud- geting their money. They ac- complished most of these tasks with great ease. It was obvious, however, that none of the Scouts had done laundry before. They used far too much super concentrated detergent in a front-loading washing machine . They used so much soap that during the rinse cycle, all one could see was suds. Most nights, the group set up their tents in campgrounds, but after travelling late one night, the group had to make do with a small triangle of land between a road and a set of train tracks in Villach, Austria. The Scouts crawled into their tents at about 2 a.m. and were just settling in when a train went roaring by them causing the tents and the ground to shake violently. The group travelled through several countries during the trip including Holland, Germa- ny, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Belgium. Mr. Emmerson said Switzer- land was the favorite place among many of the Scouts. One of the Scouts was so taken with the country, he announced he was going to honeymoon thére. With the European trip now behind them, the group is look- ing ahead to their next trip. "We don't know where we want to go next year," Mr. Em- merson said. "Perhaps the Ba- hamas during March break or Nepal in the summer." Seven of the 10 Scouts who took part in the European tour are advancing to Venturers this year. They will be responsible for planning all the activities, including any trips. Church school resumes Sunday Ashburn News by Florence Ashton now in the month of September. The summer seems to have gone by all too quickly, but at least we were blessed with good warm weather. Yes, and it did get a bit hot at times. And now it's back to the classroom and studies for all students and teachers. We wish you well as you enter another school term. The Eleanor Knight Group of the W.M.S. met at the home of Ruth Oliver last Wednesday evening. Ruth chaired the meet- ing and called the meeting to or- der with a 'call to worship'. Lois Daw led in the devotions. The hymn "I am thine, own Lord" was sung. Meditation was titled "I will not leave you comfort- less". Prayer by Lois, also read- ing the lovely poem "Footprints in the Sand". "All the way my saviour leads me" was sung. Several items of business were discussed and forthcoming meetings announced. We have been invited to join with Mt. Zion ladies on Oct. 13. Ruth con- | tinued with out study, sharing with us a video on Africa. For lunch, we enjoyed birthday cake in honor of Mrs. Oliver's 90th birthday. The Ladies Bible Class will meet on Wednesday evening of this week at 8 p.m. at the home of Florence Ashton. Congratulations and best wishes to Mrs. Oliver from her many friends at Burns, on the occasion of her 90th birthday. Mrs. Oliver is still a very active lady, who lives with her daugh- ter Ruth at Myrtle, enjoys visit- ing with her friends and family, travelling, attending church and some of the church func- tions, and is a great cook, espe- cially in baking the most yum-, my tarts. We wish her good health and happiness. Glen and Joan Fleming have returned home following a three week vacation to Alberta and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Next Sunday, church school begins again at 10 a.m. Classes for all ages. Everyone is wel- come. Beginning the first Sunday in October, church will begin at 11 a.m. If you have any interesting news for this column, I would appreciate hearing about it. Give me a call, please.
