This and that is starting up, meetings are being -held, but alas, again we come to that time where we are looking for chairmen or leaders. Leaders are required in all phases of work and play, and - unless there are people who are willing to come forward and volunteer to assist in some worthwhile cause, we will'gra- dually see a decline in,commu- nity work. > We are now in the process of registering Scouts and Cubs in the areas and there is no doubt that there are many people who are quite qualified, but are just afraid to come forward. In the Robson area we are in dire need of Cub and‘Scout leaders ‘and — unless: we have enough leaders we will be unable to continue in Scouting. To volunteer.you muat be able to spend ‘your.time in instructing the younger ones about the outdoors, survival : and many other things, no financial gain—the only... satisfaction is that you have, in some way, given your. time to: teach someone else something’ which may be useful in his life. I make this appeal to you as residents of Robson to come forward and assist in this Scout program. Register your. boys in» the ‘Scout movement; and: get'’ involved.
