CROSS-COUNTRY Fifty years agO, Scouting youth on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border met in mid-river on a new international bridge linking Sarnia, Ontario, and Port Huron, Michigan. Last year, Scouts, Beavers, Cubs and Venturers again met on a steel span joining the two cities, but this time on the new Blue Water Bridge. The oldest Canadian participant was celebrating his 80th birthday; he wore his Scout uniform from almost forty years before. The Canadian and American groups met in the middle of the bridge, exchanged flags, handshakes and crests.

(If you look closely, youH see the tag on the leading edge of the butterfly's right wing.) Tim, a member of the 24th Kitchener Venturer Company, attended a "butterfly release" at a local Naturium. Each butterfly had been tagged so scientists can study migratory flight patterns.

n from the 2nd Beavers Yorkton Colony in J. Yorkton, SK, learned about train safety in an unusual way. "We saw a film called Trains Can't Stop, toured a locomotive engine, talked to a conductor, rang the bell, even went for a ride," said Scouter Maureen Lukan. By the end of the day every child had a lot more respect for potential dangers posed by trains. (If your group has run a train safety program, tell the Leader all about it.) When teens from the Holy Family Venturer Company in Moncton, NB, heard these words they knew there was one slight "hitch." Thirteen kilometres of icy, grey Atlantic rollers posed a slight obstacle. No other Venturer members — or anyone else — had ever "walked" to PEL How could they The opportunity came when the Confederation Bridge was built. Last May the company walked and danced across the Northumberland Strait. "With our Venturer flag flowing above us and our spirits soaring," said Scouter Tom Heath, "the thought of taking part in this historic event spurred us on." The passage took just over two hours.
