Newsletter for
alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.
Caracas, 2 of June 2018 No. 865
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
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 Schools existence, and guess, 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 participates 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.

Hi,
Ladislao,
I have been sending Circular updates to all the email addresses
in the Old Boys database started by Nigel and now maintained by Kazim.
Some of them no longer work. The Old Boys in question may have died, or
have changed their addresses without letting us know, or they have ceased to
attend to their email.
Let us start with the A, B, Cs that no longer work. In the
event anyone reading this knows their latest email address, grateful if you
would ask him to contact Kazim and me with the new contact details.
Best,
Don

Here is a copy of a letter from Fr.
Cuthbert, written in 1982.
News is news.
Thanks
a lot for the Scouters.
How is your home pack doing?
Summer almost there so time for camp and hike.
The Mount stayed inside for the press was on strike and the
printer (Fr. Augustine) had a troublesome stomach.
Here the reason for two edition (you see how we can produce if
necessary!) and no. 45 and 46 are under the scrutinizing eyes of the editor.
Fr. Bernard is in Holland and seems to do quite well.
He even tries to write his address.
Fr. Adelbert is mostly with the archbishop solving (or dissolving
or absolving) marriages, any problems don’t see him.
Fr. Ildephons had an accident on his bike last month, he looked
like one from a Dracula film, but he is again O.K.
He does not know what happened, may be he blacked out, if so he
really escaped serious injuries.
The Old boys (and the not so old boys) are still in the coma. All
my efforts to get some life in them are so far in vain.
Maybe I have to use some RNG equipment, have to see the branch
manager.
This is exam times so you can well imagine the atmosphere, like
worked-out oil on a hot plate.
Bernard Lange is preparing the graduation at …Holiday Inn!.
Next month our bakery will be modernized.
The old oven of St. Aubles and the American Base are going on
pension:
They use too much current(s) in relation to their production.
Besides TnTEC provides intermittent shocks (A.C.).
We will try gas (join the oil product users).
Chambers is doing well, he is one of the few not on work to earn
(old name is: go-slow in Latin, festina lente!.
As a good P.L. (Papa leader) and thank God the choir can use you
(better something, than nothing).
Keep well, kind regard and God blessing all.
Fr. Cuthbert
