| D.Y.Y.
Workshop (Discipline, Youth & You) |
|
DYY is a good way to learn new ways of dealing with
challenging youth, and your stress level. In the past
this type of workshop has been run as a region or a district
event. The most successful has been at the group level,
where each section team works together to solve their unique
challenges. Parents can also be invited. DYY
will work in the home too. DYY can either be a two
evening or a day event. Interested parties / groups
can contact Lesley
Walters 604-530-5498 |

| First
Aid Training
....who wants some? |
| We
do not need to have all of us trained to WCB
Level 2 or 3, however, we do need to be prepared appropriately,
according to the type of activity.
Our Scouting Area
is very interested in having our members
and parents trained in First Aid. You can find a
number of First Aid instructional organizations by looking
in the yellow pages. Valley
First Aid, 101-20540 Duncan Way, 533-1993, in Langley, will
come to you if you can muster up 10 or more persons to take
a course. |

| The Beads |
| History
Of The Beads - look first to 1888 |
 |
| The
Bead Myths: |
In many councils,
areas & groups there are some old traditions regarding
the wearing of Gilwell Beads.
Myth #1: You
must wear them constantly for 3-6 months or even a
full year after you receive them (even in the shower).
Myth #2: You must wear them at every Scouting
event / meeting, uniformed or not.
Myth #3: You must wear them whenever you wear
your uniform. |
The most popular punishment
for being caught without your beads is having to wear a
very large set of beads at all Scouting events, for a definitive
length of time, or until you catch someone else not wearing
theirs. Then you can pass on these enormous beads
to that person. These rules are not written in BP&P
or in any other official publication so in reality no one
can be made to comply. However, in the spirit of
fun and in being a good sport, most people will participate........to
a degree. Your beads are yours to wear proudly,
as you please. For information on the origins of
some other Scouting traditions visit www.nicomeklscouting.ca/training/bphistor.htm |
