13. Canadian children helped Canada's children and teenagers helped the war effort in many ways. They learned to recycle and collect materials such as metal, rubber, fat and grease which were in short supply. Girl Guides washed, sterilized and packed medicine and bottles for the Women's Voluntary Service and Red Cross. Boy Scouts collected aluminum pots and pans for recycling. They vied for savings stamps in school contests, made gift boxes, quilts, socks, sweaters and mitts for troops. http://www.vac- acc.gc.ca/remembers/sub.cfm?source=teach_resources/ tguide/student
