THE fall that killed 11-year-old Philip McLeod on ~
Dec. 20 was a tragic accident that has shocked the
scouting fraternity in Vancouver. The young scout was
hiking the Mount Harvey Trail near Lions Bay with
five other scouts and two leaders, Hz was wearing a
crash helmet and carrying an ice axe when he slipped
on hard-packed snow but apparently Mcleod hit a

inquiring

bump and lost his grip on the axe that could have
stopped his fatal slide. Doubtless there will be recom-

mendations forthcoming from Scouts Canada about

winter hiking in difficult terrain (perhaps roping on
sloped snow should be required), but let’s hope that properly supervised hikes can
continue to challenge boys in as safe a manner as possible. The world-wide organi -
zation has much to offer a boy in terms of personal growth.

Eleven is a litde voung tor
winter hikes. You don’t have
to go on rugged terrain for
boys to experience what
they need. They could have
selected a better location.

Within reason, I live ae the
tap of Skyline Drive and [ve
had hikers come through in
the middle of winter who
want to push the edge. The

leaders have to be aware of

younger boys” limitations.

North Vancouver

Generally bikes are a great
experience. Trey put kids in
situations they wouldn't
normally be in.

You can try and prevent
accidents, you can’t avoid
them, Even experienced
hikers get killed.
