By THE CHIEF SCOUT THE OUTLOOK I have just received a request to bring to the notice of all Scouts an Of course I know that some of you were sending in your stamps to appeal which is being made for funds for the Trans-Antarctic other organisations before this was suggested. If you were, then Expedition of 1955-58.

It is a great adventure regular mail may not appear of any very great value to them, there which will thrill every Scout and rouse memories of Captain Scott are lots of boys at home and in other parts of the world who collect and Edward Wilson and others of his gallant band, whose names stamps and are willing to pay for them. I do hope you will help Dan will for ever be associated with the Antarctic. And we in Scouting Spry as much as you possibly can. The money is needed and the must never forget what a thrill it was to all connected with the more we collect the more we can do to help those countries where Movement when they heard that Scout Marr of Aberdeen was to Scouting is still struggling. accompany Shackleton on one of his expeditions. Then, too, for many years Scouts everywhere derived inspiration from our Sea I paid a visit, since my last “Outlook,” to Cleckheaton in West Scout Headquarters ship Discovery, and although she is no longer in Yorkshire, to present the prizes at the Whiteliffe Mount A Grammar our possession we shall never forget our connection with her and her School which is, I believe, unique, in that it was founded on public connection with the Antarctic in which so much of her life was subscription in 1908. -

Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN #339

I did see my cardiologist at the end of January and the good news is that the MRI scan which I had last August did not show any signs of a previous incident and, in fact, didn’t show any damage to my heart at all - other than the fact that it is enlarged, which has brought about all the problems. These finding have changed the position slightly in that the Cardiologist now thinks that my problems have probably been caused by a virus, as he originally anticipated, but could also be generic and, as such, lain dormant since I was born. Anyway he is happy with my current treatment and has told me to continue unchanged for now. It has been a rather strange time since last October because I would usually be heavily involved in Gang Show, especially on Sunday afternoons. However this is not to be and from the messages that I am receiving it would seem that the whole Show is rather problematic, especially in respect of cast numbers which seem to be down to about 60 in the main gang and 19 in the mini gang. It will be very interesting to see how it turns out and Betty and I will purchase our tickets to give it our support. -
