erous people attended the fund-raiser, which was officially opened by Mrs Gail Stanley MBE, a former High Sheriff of Lancashire. All proceeds have been donated towards

EXACTLY 100 years ago, the sound of a kudu horn called 20 boys from a cross-section of socie­ ty together to start an eight-day camp. When he was blowing the horn,


Baden-Powell had no intention of starting a new movement. He sim­ ply wanted to provide a pro­ gramme of activities that other existing youth organisations could use. He was testing his ideas, unsure about whether they would work or not. The camp proved more success­

ful than he could have imagined. From one small corner of Brownsea Island, the Scout Move­ ment was born - instantly catch­ ing the attention of young people in the UK, and then around the world. Since then Scouting has not


looked back. Today, with a world­ wide membership of more than 28m., Scouting is the biggest youth organisation in the world. One hundred years to the day on


August 1st 2007, Scouts across the world marked the centenary. They united to celebrate Scout-


ing’s successes, reaffirmed their commitment to Scouting's values


and, most importantly, looked towards a bright future for Scout­ ing. The Clitheroe District Scouts


decided to mark the event at 7 p.m. with the backdrop of What­ ley Abbey Grounds when Scouts from across the Valley came together to reaffirm their promise and kick-off the next 100 years of Scouting. Pictured are local Scouts gath­


ered a t Whalley Abbey for the sunrise ceremony. The event was followed by a


barbecue enjoyed by all. (T050807-17)

A FUND-RAISING event with a French twist was enjoyed by a group of residents in Billmgton. Kind-hearted Mrs


Sylvia Coward, of Billing- ton Gardens, organised a charity afternoon with a French theme to boost funds for the North West Air Ambulance. The well-organised


event was a great success, with neighbours donning fancy dress and raising £300. Attractions includ­ ed a range of stalls and a tombola. After the event, Mrs


Coward said a good time was had by all. Our picture shows Jean

JAPANESE Scouts enjoyed breathtaking scenery around East Lancashire during their recent visit to England.


Lancashire Scouts were delight­


ed to welcome a contingent of Japanese Scouts who stayed with them for a few days before return­


ing to their own country. Our pic­ ture shows Bowley Scout Campsite where the Japanese Scouts had the opportunity to meet with local Scouts who had gone to the World Jamboree and experience some of the local heritage, hospitality and customs.


The large group was then treat­


ed to a hike from Bowley to Whal­ ley Abbey and had an enjoyable experience tucking into fish and chips for lunch before returning to Bowley for a day of outdoor activ­ ities and an evening barbecue. (B100807/2)

el to and from school and could also be used by schools to crack down on truancy. The move follows a survey conducted by


Trutex, which revealed that 44% of parents are concerned about the safety of their pre- teen children and 59% would be interested in some form of tracking device being incorpo­ rated in to school uniforms. Even school children showed a keen inter­


est, with the idea appealing to 38% of nine- to-12 year olds, who said they felt safer if their parents knew exactly where they are. Not surprisingly, children aged over 13 were


less keen on their parents knowing their exact whereabouts, arguing that it would be more suitable for younger children and that they do not want parents spying on them. Clare Rix, Trutex marketing director, said:


“As a direct result of the survey, we are now seriously considering incorporating a'device into future ranges. “As well as being a safety net for parents,


there could be real benefits for schools who could keep a closer track on the whereabouts of their pupils, potentially reducing truancy levels.”


Manager of CAB dies at


age of 57


THE manager of the Ribble Valley’s Citizens’ Advice Bureau has died after a short illness. Mrs Shirley Wallbank (pictured) had led the local


team for the past 18 years and was preparing to cele­ brate the CAB’s 21st anniversary in March next year. Work colleagues have described her as a “tremen­


dous personality and force for the CAB service”. They added that her attention to detail was excep­


tional and that she always had a sense of humour. Mr David Harkness, the chief executive of the


CAB, said: “Bureau managers are the backbone of the service and our greatest resource, and Shirley will be greatly missed.” Mrs Wallbank (57) was married to John, and had


one son, Richard. She spent many years working for the CAB, first in


Pendle and then, after moving back to the UK from America, she joined the Ribble Valley bureau as its manager. The funeral service is due to take place at 10-20 a.m. today at Accrington Crematorium.
