I recently spoke with a Scouter Alumnus, now living out of council, who is searching for some very old (20-30 years old) plans for a "folding kayak", also known as a "skimmer". Apparently the plans were drawn up by a former high school teacher in Hayward, and the design was simple enough for Scouts to do the actual building. If you find anything in your troop's archives, or if you know someone who might have information about this project, or even if you have a simple design for something similar, please contact me at mharo@scotco.com. John Roundtree would appreciate it very much. Thanks. Mary Haro Editors Note: I believe I once saw something like this in a reprint from Boys Life in the 1960's. If anyone has a copy of that it might help. Here is the link to the BSA site that has on-line Cub Scout Fast Start Training. I found it very informative: Cub Fast Start I also located several other very useful Cub Scout sites, many I'm sure you already know about. Being the amateur "Webmaster", I have linked them from Pack 603's Web Site I created as a reference tool for others in the Pack. Feel free to check these out as well at: Reference Tool Janet.Welch@uboc.com Hi everyone!
