        I'd be a fool not to listen to the scouts...after all, you're why we
strive to work harder...I just had a suggestion from a Chief Scout about
making a generic questionaire which could be forwarded on to any scout
council in any country, for perspective Scouts and Leaders...a question
format for this would be helpful...

assistant: Hi Bruce:
My name is David Giles, and I am the Scoutmaster for the 3rd Widdifield Scout
Troop, in North Bay, Ontario, CANADA.  This is my second year at it.  I was a
Boy Scout Roundtable Commissioner with the Comanche Trail Council, BSA, in
Brownwood Texas for one year (1995), and previous to that, I was an ASM with
21st Nepean Troop, National Capital Region, in Ottawa, Ontario.
I am a college student, studying Electronics Engineering Technology, and will
be returning to Ottawa for the summer, where I will work as an Assistant
Venturer Advisor (like the BSA Explorer programme).  I will then return to
North Bay, in August, to continue my studies.
Would you be interested in trading for one of your Council Strips?  I have
some BSA Council strips to trade, and numerous Canadian ones.  I also have a
few from other countries.
Yours in Scouting,
David Giles
