Second-year
Webelos from the Amangi Trail District seized
the opportunity of a beautiful day and a
large bridge to conduct a special District-wide
bridging ceremony to celebrate the transition
from Webelos to Boy Scouts to commemorate
the 75th anniversary of Cub Scouts and the
95th anniversary of Boy Scouts in America!

What
Can You do to Celebrate
the 75th Anniversary
of Cub Scouts?
From
now through December 2005, Cub Scouting
celebrates its 75th Anniversary—75 years
of doing our best and still having fun!
The Cub Scouts, families, and leaders in
your dens and pack will want to be a part
of this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
Here is a list of ideas to help celebrate
the 75th!
| 1.
Promote the 75th Anniversary Award by ensuring
that all members of your pack, including
Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts,
families, and leaders, have copies of the
requirements (available from the council
office).
|
| 2.
Plan a celebration commemorating the 75th Anniversary of Cub Scouting
by making the anniversary the theme for your blue and gold banquet.
|
| 3.
Plan a membership event using the 75th Anniversary
as your theme.
|
| 4.
Conduct a service project for your chartered
organization or the community. If possible,
post a sign telling the public about your
project.
|
| 5.
Find out about typical games of the 1930s
and play one or more at pack or den meetings
during the year.
|
| 6.
Have your pack historian start or update
your den or pack scrapbook.
|
| 7.
Look for former leaders in your pack and
invite them to a special event. You might
place notices in your chartered organization’s
newsletter, local newspapers, and school
newsletters and with local radio and television
stations asking former leaders to contact
someone in your pack. (Be sure to provide
contact information—e-mail, phone, or address.)
|
| 8.
Encourage Cub Scouts to research the Internet
(with adult assistance) to find out about
the history of Cub Scouting. Dens can use
the information they learn to write a skit
or puppet show to perform at the monthly
pack meeting.

Cub
Scout Race
for Membership!
As
a local council of the Boy Scouts of America, we strive
to have a positive effect on the lives of as many young
people as possible and help them achieve their full
potential in life by providing meaningful programs for
them.
There
are thousands of youth and families within the boundaries
of our council who have not been invited to join in
the fun and adventure of our Cub Scouting program. As
a dedicated leader, you know that the true benefit of
Cub Scouting comes directly from our Cub Scout packs.
We
have developed a round-up resource package to assist
your pack in implementing and conducting a successful
round-up program event; in addition to effectively delivering
the Cub Scouting program to the young people in our
communities. This 2005 round-up package includes plans,
ideas, materials, and best methods to help you invite
more boys and families into your pack. As a supplement
to this resource package, we will hold training sessions
in conjunction with upcoming roundtable meetings to
help you implement the contents of this package and
further your success.
We
look forward to your participation in this year’s round-up
program, which was designed to help you make a positive
impact upon our community. A major endeavor such as
this can be totally successful only when the council,
districts, and packs work together in unison. Together,
we will make a difference for the youth and families
that we serve and together, we will deliver them a quality
Cub Scouting program.
