N EWS Glebe Scouts spend weekend at Danford Lake By Adrian Camfield Ninteen boys and three leaders of the 36th Ottawa (Glebe St.James) Scout Troop enjoyed their Spring (?) Camp on May 2 - 4, 1986. The question mark refers to the weather, which on that weekend sometimes made us think we were back to winter and sometimes ahead to the driest summer. Our original plan had been to camp with the seven other troops of the Chaudière Area, but the very dry April this year made the fire risk at the Area's site unacceptably high for such a large gathering. After the "monsoon" of May 20-25, this may be hard to imagine, but the dust was thick on the road to the alternate location near Danford Lake, Quebec, which we had visited last fall. On the Friday night the three patrols pitched their tents, had a hot mug-up and tried to settle down for the night. The cold wind, the flapping canvas and the excitement of the first night in camp meant that all did not sleep soundly. Why is it the boys with the biggest voices wake first with an irresistable need to tell their friends about the night's happenings? After an early breakfast, the Falcon and Rat patrols began the construction of a signal tower three metres STEPP-KIM 1 1==TIRE'1\111-:"NT 1_01.)617,S 174 Glebe Ave. Ottawa, Ont.

This pioneering project really honed their lashing skills which were thoroughly tested later when the entire troop decided to check the scene from the deck on top.

After their work a chat over a hot drink around the fire was far more comfortable than before. Lunch followed, then a hike up a nearby ridge to view the surrounding countryside, including Mt. O'Brien which we had climbed last fall. Granola bars and apples were a welcome snack ! at the top. After supper a wild game called Capture the Flag provided much excitement for all, perhaps even too much.

His safe arrival after all the others was greeted with cheers. During the subsequent campfire, this incident was easy to expand into a discussion of relationships within the troop. The concern of the troop for each of its members was certainly evident. Saturday night was.clear and so cold that ice formed on the water buckets. Were we back to winter? In spite of the low temperature, or perhaps because of it, there were few early risers. Those who did were amazed at the patterns of frost on the long grass. Hot chocolate around the fire before breakfast was much appreciated. During a leisurely morning Scouter Don Johnston tested some of the boys on the requirements for various badges. The warming sun dried the frost from the tents and all too soon it was time to fold them away. With the rising temperature came black flies. When our drivers arrived we were glad to escape the flies' attention but sad that a good weekend had come to a close. Sarci, CID-1-1,ks -4iL1F $4 ortm!
