“The fastest press in the West”
Scouts Wrapped up in Lettuce Fever
Ample supply of greens
ensures healthy Scouts
S
couts Canada nutritionists ensured that Scouts
attending CCJam would have an
ample supply of vegetables. Being wise
in the use of all resources, Scouts put
the ample greens to good use.
1st Midland Scouts found cool lettuce to be a great sunburn remedy.
Most of all, vegetables are plants. Scouts
planted and watered beautiful lush gardens of lettuce and celery.
Lettuce is also useful for construction. Scouts built archways, forts, people, cacti, and many other decorative
items.
There were also unconfirmed
reports that lettuce was eaten. The lettuce-celery milk shake was rumored to
be popular.

Scouts Visit from Yukon
1
st Porter Creek Scout Troop from Yukon Territory in
northern Canada travelled 5500 km to
attend CCJam. Ten Scouts and two
Scouters flew from Whitehorse to
Vancouver where they switched planes
for a flight to Montréal. From there, the
Lettuce soothes sunburns
1st David Thompson Scout Troop
drove them to Tamaracouta.
The Scouts noticed some differences
between camping up North and camping here in Québec. Here the days are
much shorter; there is a “lack of sun”.
As well, the humidity is much higher
here and there are many more people
then at any other camporee they have
attended.
Most of the Scouts have climbed the
real Chilkoot Pass, but had not panned
for gold with copper. Where they live,
there is still gold to be found by panning.
The Scouts are staying three extra
days to tour Montréal and visit la
Ronde theme park.
The trip cost $1650 per person. The
Scouts raised by money with car washes, popcorn sales, bottle drives, sandbagging, Pizza Hut nights, and a grant
from the Yukon Lottery.

Scouting Brotherhood Strong at Camp
Scouts Make New Friends
A
bove all else, a Jamboree is the time to meet
Scouts from far away. Baden-Powell
started the tradition of Jamborees so
that Scouts from around the world
could strengthen the brotherhood of
Scouting. At CCJam this week, we have
built a bridge between the Scouts in
Ontario and Québec and those in other
provinces and countries.
Leocourts from 1st Hawkston and
Sean from 3rd Orillia met at the
Jamboree. They said the Jamboree is a
great place to make friends.They
enjoyed trading badges with the Scouts
from the Yukon.
Ian of 14th Glouchester met Scouts
from several Ontario city and met for
the first time Scouts from the United
States.
Tyler, James, Jeremy, Hannah, and
Shane from various groups in Whitby
visited the Czech Scouts. They said it
was, “difficult to communicate” but that
they used jestures to help. “They’re
cool.” Language does not stop the Scout
Spirit.
To my Canadian Friends,
T
hank you very much for your hospitality. It has been
very nice meeting you and trading
with you. It was very emotional for us
to hear your enthusiasm for our dancing. The children felt very proud. We
would like to thank all of the staff for
putting on an excellent camp.
We are very proud to have made so
many new friends from Canada which
is very far from the Czech Republic.
This will be the only for chance most of
our children to travel as far as Canada.
This only time in their life.
You are welcome to come to our
country. It is very safe and is called “the
heart of Europe”.

Sharing the Spirit of Scouting with Scouting friends
Invasion Foiled
A
fter the recent Romaine Uprising, a few brave
Scouts and Venturers from 5th
Whitby in Cypress Hills fought off and
defeated the Legions of Romaine barbarians. The slaughtered foliage lays
desecrated and rotting in the hot sun.
Nothing more than rabbit chow
remains.
“Hail Ceasar!”
Invasion échouée
S
uite au dernier soulèvement Romain, quelques
braves scouts et aventuriers du
groupe 5th Whitby de Cypress Hill ont
combattu et défait les barbares de la
Légion Romaine. Les restes du carnage
de feuillage sont maintenant sous le
soleil à pourrir. Il ne reste que des
miettes pour les lapins.
“Ave César!”
Campfires Warm Hearts
A
s the roving reporter travelled through the camp on
her morning rounds at Fort
Tamaracouta, she noticed a distinct
change in the young’un. They had a firery red glow to them and they were
moving a lot slower than the day
before. The exuberance of spending a
day at the water park was taking it's toll.
However, as the day progressed the
young cowpokes slowly regained their
energy as the activities continued in the
individual Forts.
Strange creatures of green started
popping up. Over heard through out
the camp was “Please sir may we have
some more, lettuce, milk and celery.”
As the sun slowly set in the wild
West you could have the beat of the
disc jockey (a disc jockey in the wild
west; how strange).
The sweet smell of campfire radiated
from Cyprus hills and Craigellachie.
Merriment of songs and skits continued
into the late night. As the fire turned to
coals, we walked back into the cool
night knowing that CCJam was soon
coming to a close.
Corrections
K
urtis, quoted in yesterday’s article about the
Kwahati Dancers, is with 1st
Richmond.
Incorrect information appeared in
yesterday’s edition regarding Inuit
singers at the Cypress Hill campfire.
Happy 17th Sean, host to the Czechs.
