WOLF CUBS. A MESSAGE TO CUBS AND TROOP SCOUTERS

FROM A.D.C. WOLF CUBS How often does one hear- "Oh its the Cubs, they

won't mind." Such statements can have two very different constructions, the one happy and pleasing, hut the other thoughtless and disturbing.

If the application is that the Cubs, even though asked to accept some difficult or unpleasant situation, will not mind because they can and will do their best in all ci rcumstances, then the speaker obviousl y appreciates and und erstands tl' e versatility and the r esilience of the youngsters. lf, however, the applic­ation is "Its only the Cubs they don't co;mt", then the speak er is displaying a thoughtless and inconsiderate approach to Scouting's youngest potential.

Do -not .forget that Cubs are the Scouts and Rovers of tomorrow and that as such, they merit the attentjon of Scouters of all Sections that help and assistance when sought, should be eagerly given by Troop Sco_ut­ers as it can and will lead to a better understandmg of the work of the P ack ; that occasional visits to the Jungle will soon lead to a personal knowledge <?f t~e Cubs· and that the step from Cubbmg to Scoutmg IS

a very big one If or a little boy, but if, in his Pack _life he has met and known the Scouters then a steppmg­stone is ready laid to help him on his way.

Th ere is a comparatively bigger jump from the Pack to the Troop than between any of the other branches of Scouting·, and Troop Scouters can help tremendously to bridge that gap if they will only take the nu'merous opportunities that ar.ise of esta.blishin g personal contact with the Cubs themselves, not mer ely through the "Official Channels."

The Wolf Cub Section as a numerical factor should not be taken for granted. There is a discrepancy between those leaving the Pack and those entering the Troop, and every effort should be made to 'decrease this loss. ·

It has been said that a Scouting career is not complete without hav.ing partaken of life in the Jungle. Are you as a Troop Scouter, doing all in your power to enco~rage your Pack, helping it whenever you can and taking every possible step to close that g~p - I hope so, because the success of your_ Group w 1ll be greatly increased by your efforts 111 th1s directwn.

Finally a message to _Cub Scouters. You are doing a big and jmportant JOb, l;mt do y~:m r eahse t~at no-one can play any game effiCiently w1thout trammg

E ach boy takes part in these act iv.it ies as a member of his own Troop. These activit ies are de signed to maintain the boys' interest in Scouting and fit in with ou r plan for the develop'rnent of Senior Scouting-as set out below.

IN A NUT:SHELL-THE LONG AND SHORT TlEIRM PLANS.

. "SHORT TERM PLAN"

(a) IN THE TROOP . Estaiblish the Principle.

(i) Se~iors (at 15) are to get plain maroon shoulder straps even if they remain memb ers of their old Boy Scout patrol.

(ii) They will belong to a Senior Scout Patrol even if this is in addition to their memb ership of a Boy Scout patrol.

(iii) These Senior Scout Patrol s must meet re~gularly even if jnfrequen tly.

(iv) There should be a t leas t an A.S.M. (S) in each Group-even i.f he retains duties within the Boy Scout Troop-and he should be responsible for the ·welfare and progress o.f Senior Scouts within that Group. H e should wear Senior Scout insign ia.

(b) DISTRICT ACTIVITIES. Maintain the I,nterest.

(i ) District recreational act ivities. (ii) District training activities.

(iii) Overseas Scouting etc. (iy) Provision of expert tuition.

"LONG TERM PLAN" L Build up the strength of Senior Scouting by

means of the Short T erm Plan. 2. Re-esta~blish Senior Scouting on a Troop

rather than District basis. 3. Search for new Sc~mters (S) against the time

when the effects of this consolidation are felt.
