Ladislao,
It’s
been some time since we last touched base but I need your help on an urgent
issue.
I
recall one of us is a graduated helicopter pilot working, I believe, for the
police in Quito Ecuador. Would you be in a position to provide me all his
contact information.
Alberto,
my brother is fine and so is his family but everyone is experiencing hard times
in Venezuela not even to mention the food shortages!
Please
update your data base to reflect my updated e-mail address: achesnpains@sympatico.ca
Saludos
Reynaldo Aché

I am
sorry to make the following observation: There seems to be a common factor
between scouts, be useful to others but be short in writing. I am sure that
there were about 500 King´s or Queen´s Scouts through the Abbey School’s
existence, and guess what, only one has written on the experience.
So I
am enclosing an account that came in the 1982s, copy for Mount inside No.45.
Can
anyone send the missing issues??? So that we may get the start of the story and
also the ending?? Maybe Fr. Alleyne, today in Guyana can provide us with a
story or two?
2nd Mt. St. Benedict Scouting Troop
SCOUTING
Having left our
Scouts at the Matura Camp in the middle of a rain storm and being chewed by
mosquitoes (M.I. issue No. 44) I now continue my report.
The
Camp also had its bright days which allowed many fun-filled hours in the river
and frolicking in the sunshine. At night we walked a few miles along the beach
hoping to meet giant leather-back turtles laying eggs in the sand. Even though
that experience was not to be ours we nonetheless saw freshly made tractor-like
tracks which at least gave us an idea of the enormous size of these creatures.
Then
there was the night when we caught a 15’ (sorry!) 15” alligator, not exactly
the best representative of this reptile species. I am told that the Scout who
first stepped on the unfortunate creature has already registered for high jump
in the 1982 Athletic Sports.
Formality
and order were not to be left out from the Camp’s Programme. On Friday
afternoon, April 24th, the group assembled in full uniform to
officially welcome Paul Guillen into their ranks.
Camp
participants were exposed to a broad spectrum of Scouting:- extreme weather
conditions, endurance, good humour, fun, skill display, inventiveness, etc. A
Scout joining under these conditions would have had a very good idea of what
the movement is all about.
About
150 guests patronized the Scouts´Annual Candlelight Dinner on the May 2nd.
An all day rain cleared to allow the stars and suburban lights to shine through
onto our outdoor setting. The continual showers earlier in the day affected the
turn-out which was less than expected. Thanks to so many who helped to make the
venture a success.
Scouting
Correspondent for M.I. No.43 referred to the Junior Scouts as “Rats”. There
have been objections to the reference to this particular rodent. Careful,
Gregory! I have heard some rumours about rat poison in view of exterminating
this term from future reports. Speaking about POISON. I have since been
informed that there were some questionable dishes turned out by the venture
unit at Caura Camp; dishes which even the dogs refused to eat.
To put
the Troop in good stead for the coming term the Junior Scouts are planning a
five day camp, here at Mount St. Benedict, during which they intend to put the
den in order, carry out repairs, get through some badge work and band
practices.

Hello OLD BOYS
The
Circular and the “staff” are in need your financial support, to cover the year.
I did
not want to include this request for help but things as they are here in
Venezuela, I have no choice.
With
costs going out of hand, it is getting to be difficult having ends meet.
Let me
know if you would like to donate and support the Newsletter.
You
might have read about the Venezuelan relief, organized by ASAA the Abbey School
Association to the old boys in need in the East of the country. It is working
fine but it does not include the CIRCULAR.
I had
hoped that there would be a change, but none is in sight.
The
donation would be to a US bank, to make it easy for those that support the
CIRCULAR, the “staff” is included (that is me, your EDITOR)

support to the ones, willing to lead the way, for the same reason. Not putting
your self at risk.
Yesterday

support to the persons being robbed that the bandits would have stood a
chance....?
