Local

scouts enjoy jamboree in Canada

Boy Scout Troop

212, affiliated with Rolling Hills Baptist Church, currently has 14 scouts

and seven leaders north of the border.

They are attending

the 10th Canadian Jamboree at Prince Edward Island. The jamboree takes

place every 10 years to bring together scouts from all over Canada to

have exposure to others from different cultural backgrounds.

More than 14,000

Scouts are expected to attend. Jamborees are the Olympics of Scouting

and Scouts from around the world will try new and challenging activities.

Set at Cabot

Beach Park, known as Anne's Land because the area inspired the work "Anne

of Green Gables," the setting is idyllic for landlubbers and water

enthusiasts. The beaches of Malpeque Bay are perfect for kayaking, canoeing,

swimming, sailing and more. The jamboree ends this Friday, but the memories

that these Scouts are making will last a lifetime.
