Fort Telegraph Tamaracouta Télégraphe Friday, July 8th / Vendredi 8 Juillet 2005 • Scouts Canada CCJam’05 “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. Lettuce Lexicon Lettuce Rejoice Lettuce In Forever lettuce live in peace Live'n lettuce live Lettuce the force the be with you Lettuce Lovers Unit Lettuce anonymous meets here 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.

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”.

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. Avoir ou être?
