WINDOW DISPLAYS

Every Pack should try to prepare a Cub Scout window display in a community store. If possible, pick a store window which is located in the neighborhood of your Pack. These are the folks who will be most interested in what you are doing. You will find some suggestions on Cub Scout window displays in the January Scouting Magazine.

SPECIAL PUBLICITY

Urge your Cub Scouts to listen to the radio during Boy Scout Week. There will be statements about Scouting in connection with all nationwide programs. Try to fit into this general scheme in your community and get some Pack news into your community paper.


AMERICAN CUB SCOUT DEN IN PERU

By Mrs. A. R. Merz
La Oroya, Peru

◆ “Gee, mother, all the Cubs are wearing their new uniforms to school and there’s four—let me see, how many Cubs are there now? I guess five, Cub caps in a row in the cloakroom, and now the two Scout caps, and, gee, they look nice!”

It was Boy Scout Week and the five Cub Scouts and two Boy Scouts, whose uniform accessories had just arrived from BSA Headquarters in New York were 100% thrilled at the privilege of wearing their new gear every day to school. The boys are members of Den One and Patrol One, the only officially registered Scout groups in the Sierra of Peru, and doubtless the highest in all the world—for the altitude where we live is 12,500 feet.
