CAMPION AIR & SEA SCOUTS
"Be Prepared" the motto still rings in our ears and the three fingered salute comes naturally when you think about it.And if any of us can cook today ,it is because of the beginning made at the Scout Camp. Making chappathis on a wood fire that rages out of control is a lot harder than cooking on gas or electric stoves, believe me !
At the 'pitch' for the new Campion School to young tender minds at the St.Josephs Convent ,the picture painted (by the Jesuit Priest Fr. More in a flowing white 'choga') of intrepid 'Air' and 'Sea' Scouts having adventures to rival the Famous Five (of Enid Blyton fame) brought a gleam to many a young eyes.
While the Air Scouts at least 'flew' model air planes, the Sea Scouts rarely ventured into the water, but that did not slow down the accumulation of badges from cooking and swimming to basket weaving! Starting as a 'tenderfoot', Scouts graduated into 'Second Class' and then 'First Class' Scouts. Quite a few earned the Presidents Scouts Award too.
