The Leaders would like to thank everyone who has helped at Cubs before and those that will help with this new program. We think that it looks as though we will have a great time at the Challenger pack in the time up to September and hope you will. The Cubs and Sixers have helped with the ideas, and if anyone has any ideas for the next program please let us know. At Cubs…Please remember that we will always play games at most meetings as well as the things on the program…and most things count towards your badges or awards.

If anyone wants to know anything more about what we plan to do, please feel free to speak to your leaders at Cubs (6:45pm is a good time) or contact us on the normal numbers. Thanks

Tim - Cub Scout Leader
