by John Dennis Wyebridge was well represented recently at Banff Provincial Park where Scouts from across Canada took part in Canada Jamboree "81. Fred Booth of Wyebridge, a member of a Midland Scout Troop took part in this mammoth campout from July 2 to July 12. On July 2 he flew, along with other South Georgian Bay Scouts to Calgary International Airport. nie From there they took buses to Banff Provincial Park. The camp consisted of 22,000 Scouts and their leaders. One of the most important parts of the camp was the Canadian Armed Forces Hospital set up to handle the possible injuries minor or major that occurred during the Designing bridge Memorable occasion for Scouts Jamboree. While in Calgary, Scouts visited the Banff Hot Springs and Gondola Lift which took them up Sulpher Mountain. = Then it was on to the Calgary Stampede, Lake Louise and later in the week a hike up one of the many mountains to a height of 7,500 feet. According to Fred it only rained once during the 10-day Jamboree but when it did they were bombarded with heavy rains and storms. Helicopters continually patrolled the Jamboree for bears in search of food and indeed one night the camp was visited by nine rather large black bears. Ministry of Natural Resources took care of the intruders with tranquilizers and it wasn't long before the camp returned to normal. Scouts even had their own newspaper, 'The Nugget Journal'"' which had six issues daily. The paper informed each group of what the other troops' activities were. The Canada Jamboree 1981 had Scouts from other countries as well including the United States, and Israel. While at the Jamboree, Fred was able to exchange a few badges. He received badges from his United States and Innuit Scout counterparts. Last week Wyebridge Midgets lost a squeeker to Port McNicoll 12-11. Midgets have lost a number of games by only a couple of runs which indicates they have the ability to win but just haven't con- vinced Mother Luck to cross over to their side. On Thursday evening in Wyebridge the Warriors hosted Hillsdale Hustlers. Hillsdale is presently in first place tied with Vasey Twin Lakes. With Paul Rowe on the mound Wyebridge pulled the plugs and did everything to im- prove on their fifth place standing, but even with Bob Downers' single run homer it wasn't quite enough and so the Warriors came out on the short end of a 9-8 score. That same evening in Wyebridge Com- munity Centre players were picked for_the annual all-star game. The game will be played under the lights starting at 8 p.m. tomorrow evening in Midland. Representing Wyebridge in the 1981 All- Star game will be Bob Dutton, Bob Downer, Maurice Reynolds and Carl Cowan.
