With the help of the scouts as salesmen and | deliverers, the venturers organized a very successful Christmas card sales campaign. The canteen which they ran at the local ski club, helped the venturer treasury consider- ably. The highlight of the season was the sponsor- ing of the 2nd Annual Lake Superior Area Curling Bonspiel . We greatly appreciate the support received from the curling club. The boys also held a weekend snow machine camp this past winter. They are looking forward to a busy summer at the White Sand Lake Camp where they will undertake considerable renovations fo the main building.

It has 3 worked quite well so far, however, the spring work parties will be the final test. Apple Sale = The apple sales were quite successful this year with profits of approximately $215.00. There were some problems with overly ripe apples, but we intend to solve them in the future by making sure customers are aware of the availability of ex- changes. Christmas Card Sales = The venturers and scouts organized a very successful Christmas card sale in 1970. Total profits from the sale were approximately $510.00. Thanks are due to the parents who helped in the deliveries. Scout Camp Renovations = This is a program which has been set up by the venturers. The main building at the camp is no longer in a condition satisfactory for holding cub camps. As the group is not in a good enough financial condition to pay for repairs to the camp, the venturers are proposing fo get materials for repairing one half of the building by disassembling the other half.
