I WhllSjt mentioning Whalley I must talk of the; fourth annual 'coriferened for Cfiiurch-j-of-England Scbuters.i I 171 ‘ held last week-end at VriiaMey Mey under the arrangements of thq BlacMbulm Diocesan Advisory Scout Couhcll. l- The leader was Mr. J. F. Colquhbun (“ Kiko’!) Deputy, Home' Commissioner' at iIh.Q., and he [had the help of the Lord Bishop of:Burnley, the Right'
Rev.iE. P. Swain. On Sunday there was Holy'CoriimuWon, group discussions (summed qp byjj. F. Colquhoun), and, a talk by Mrs. Tiwers on “ afterrcare.” After luncheonJ the leader spoke bn “ How to put religion across to the Group.” To ' conclude a Scouts’, Own and Dedication Service'w'ari held. I have'not received a report on the effects of this conference, butj 1 am told that there were ndarly sevenw delegates present, many coming fromlMestonf
^Not such a large! crowd, numbering 30 at the most-, and Mr. Hunter, DeputyCamp Chief,'wondeirs why more exfHuntmyde people'don’t-attend. He estimates -that some 120 people have gone through so|rie qourse of training at our N.E, 'Lancashire centre.; There'was the usual stylei of programme including camp-fire. Scouts’': own service,: mysterious- “wlde-gime”, based On I.R;A. activities, and bpov^wovi! on, “ Spoufljag; leadership,” ;Mr. Hunter wanted us air to act as leatori'in the ■Scouting mixture.' He wlshts l&ons learned on training courtos to jbe 'felt'id. Ibcal associations and wants-jmbre Scouters to enjoy the pleasures] of Himt- royde. I He'emphasised the'forthcbniliig'! Scouters’ week-end, June 3rd land 4th[ when aU Scoutmasters can riave a; taste, bf those pleasures. ,

I very ,much enjoyed Sunday dinner—; having (with the usual audacity of the “Press”) got in flrst, before all the pan cake mixture dlsapipeared. ' By the way,; I wonder If any readers whb
are.riot; actively engaged In Scouting still think In terms of laughter , o f ' our camp' cookery? You ought to see
the.Sunday dinner dished up by Albert! and hte '1 slaves of trie grld-lfon!” '
We enjoyed see|ng, the, old faces
