The 1st Boy Scout Troop, Wolf Cub Pack and Beaver Colony and was officially opened on May 25, 1966.2 A sense of family and church was emphasized with the Annual Father and Son Banquet usually held at Hall. The Annual Church Service & Parade was a regular event which changed venues between the three churches in York , Marshfield and Dunstaffnage . The 1st Scout Troop was active in the area for almost 20 years until the troop was disbanded in 1980. It remained inactive until revived again in 1990 under the leadership of Bruce Peveril . Due to a shortage of leaders all the Marshfield programs ceased existence and sponsorship was not renewed beyond 1997.3-4 When the history of Scouting in Marshfield is being reviewed, the significant contribution made to the movement by the MacBeath family is obvious. The book "The History of Scouting - Prince Edward Island " by the 1914 Patrol makes notable mention of the participation of the MacBeath family in Scouting over the years. While researching files at the Provincial , the frequent references to Doris MacBeath in her various direct and indirect roles in Scouting leadership is impressive. Doris was awarded the Wood Badge in February 1964 and was an active Cubmaster for 14 years. Even though she volunteered more than her share of formal leadership roles, for many more years she continued her dedicated work behind the scenes in support of the movement. A summary of Registration Records at the Provincial lists the following names as Leaders, Assistant Leaders and Group Committee Chairpersons. Although the list is extensive, it is not believed to be complete.34 YEAR SCOUTS CUES BEAVERS GROUP COMM 1960-63 Hugh Lowry Gordon Stetson Doris MacBeath Edith Foster Claude Lewis 1963-64 Hugh Lowry Roscoe Pendleton Doris MacBeath Edith Lowry Agnes Saunders Claude Lewis 1964-67 Hugh Lowry Frank Lacey Parker Jewell Doris MacBeath Edith Lowry Claude Lewis Raymond Vessey 1967-68 Parker Jewell Frank Lacey Dorothy Lewis Jean Lewis Wallace Wood 1968-70 Parker Jewell Frank Lacey Aubrey Macintosh Howard Watts Frank Lacey Dorothy Lewis Jean Lewis Wallace Wood 1970-71 Parker Jewell Fraser MacDonald Dorothy Lewis Doris MacBeath Mark Johnston 1971-72 Donald Thompson Rupert MacBeath Dorothy Lewis Doris MacBeath Mark Johnston 1972-74 Leroy Vessey Hayden Birt Rupert MacBeath Dorothy Lewis Doris MacBeath Mark Johnston 1974-75 Leroy Vessey Hayden Birt Dorothy Lewis Doris MacBeath Carol Gaudet 1975-76 Leroy Vessey Hayden Birt Stan Bryanton Garfield Creamer Marlene Creamer Wayne Boswall Ira Lewis 1976-77 Leroy Vessey Hayden Birt Wayne Vessey Edwin Jewell Scott Lewis Stan Bryanton Garfield Creamer Marlene Creamer Wayne Boswall
