Authorized to Use New Cub Program The National Executive board, Boy Scouts of America, bas approved for use by ail scout councils the new cub programn designed. for boys from the ages of 9 to 1l years, inclusive. According to an officiai bulletin from Dr. James, E. West, the chief sctout1 exec.utive,' ail of the 561 scout counicils in the United, States and Possessions. are now authorized' to develop cub packs as their resources and opportunities permit, ending an, experimental period during, which cubbing was, carried on in only 'a relatively. small numiber of scout councils. The experiment liowever, showed surprising strength, and' the number ofcpacks bas icrased, rapidl since the flrst ones were organized in 1930, indicYting definitely the need of the programf, it is observed. Dr. West's bulletin was received in Highland Park hy Dr. C. V. Nkio1s. Cub Oomniittee chairman for the North Shore Area council. Remercl i s Imstituted Back in 1928, under aid of a spe- cial grant from tbe Laura -Spelman « Rockefeller Memorial, Dr. West's bulletin points out, intensive research was instituted to determine whetber the need existed for the Boy Scouts of America to promote a pro!gram. for boys of pre-scout age. This re- cevelopnlent ofthte cub program, Iauncbed experimentally in 1930. "This action resulted in an amaz- ing expenience," asserts Dr. West, relating also that a tabulation of the results «f the several experiments bad been> compiled by William D. Murray, charter member of the Na- tional Boy Scout Executive board and chairman of the National Cub- bing committee. Altbougb the expenimental packs had been launched only a few these boys' l friends for the boy interests g experience.,tell', Brave (Ait Editor ial.) The tentb law of the. Boy Scouts reads: "A scout is bra ve." "He bas the courage'to face danger," this law aiso says. At this late date, with the Boy Scout movement coming close to the turn1 of its. first quarter centur>r, 'it is unneces sary to plead for the, move- ment,, but it is possible on ce in a wbile4,to cail attention to the. nian- ner in whic.h the scout program actu- aily works o ut i n dail y1 life. Just the other day, ini Ann Arbor, Mich., there, was handed to Henry, V. Aquinto, a 14-year-old Boy Scout, the silver medal issued for gallantry by the British Boy.Scouts' associa- tion, and coniing direct f rom Lord Baden-Powell' , the chief scout of the, world. A few days later the mails brought .to Ann *Arbor, to Scout Aquinto, the gold honoir medal for lie saving, .issued by the Boy Scouts of America. Botb tokens signaiized recognition of an outstanding act of braîvery. The story is not without., interest. Aquinto was in Liniithgow, Scotland,_ last summer' visiting bis grandpar- ents.
