Lakeland Park DOROTHY LENSE 385-6517 Cub Scouts Meet Despite Violent Storm In spite of a raging storm last Thursday, Sept. 28, Cub Scout Pack 4S9 held its pack meeting at Valley View school as planned. Because of the weather, the activities were somewhat behind schedule, but everyone refused to let the rain dampen their spirits. The Scouts participated in a candle light ceremony which told of the ideals of scouting and of the g6pls that the boys are striving for. A skit was presented which tn'd of the need for more adult leaders. There is a need for more den mothers, as there are boys who want to join Pack 459. But, the dens are already crowded. The parents were given a chance to see first hand what is required to earn the Wolf badge and pin. The parents were given cards which represented the Wolf badge. To earn it they had to do the activities that are necessary to get the badge. The parents who passed were given recognition by cubmaster, Ray Jensen, later in the program. The Webelos were presented with a banner for winning the Summer Olympics. The Webelos also won the Cubby Award for passing inspection with the most points. Den 1 received the attendance award.
