The First Exeter Cub Pack At the present time the First Exeter Cub Pack has a member­ ship. of 3 6 boys. These boys are from eight to twelve years of age, and meet each Thursday evening at 7 p.m. in the Boy Scout Hall. Cub work is based on the story of Rudyard Kipling’s book, “The Jungle Book”. This is an excellent book for all boys to read. The Cubs are under the leadership of Akela (The Old Wolf) and Bagheera (The Pan­ ther). These ‘leaders are Jean Brock and Margaret Melville. The Cub law is one to be obeyed not only at our meetings, but every day of the week. “The Cub gives in to the Old Wolf. The Oub does not give in to himself.” A Cub promises to do his best, to do his duty to God and the King, to keep the law of the Wolf Cub Pack, and do a good turn to someone every day.” Like the Cubs of the Jungle, he keeps his uniform smart and clean. He knows that his broth­ ers in other parts of the British Empire as well as in other countries, are wearing the same jerseys, shorts and caps. People think a lot of a boy who is dressed in his uniform, because they know he is not an ordinary boy, but one who is smart and active, and can be trusted to obey orders. A Cub Pack is divided into groups of six. With these groups inter-six competitions are held at the regular meetings. The Leader of each six is called the “Sixer”, and his orders .must be obeyed by the other fellows in the Six. The boys try numerous tests Topics— Items of Social and Personal Interest in and Around Exeter The Times-Advocate is always pleased to publish these items. We and our readers are interested in you and your friends. Phone 31w Mrs. A. Cudmore and Mrs. Harvey Perkins spent the week­ end visiting in London, Mr. A.

These tests include the composi­ tion of the Union Flag, knots, skipping, cleanliness, ball throw­ ing, signalling, compass read­ ing modelling, cleaning shoes, first aid, etc. Then, too, Cubs work very hard to obtain their proficiency badges. These in­ clude Collector, Observer, Gar­ diner, Artist, Homecraft, Toy­ maker, and numerous others. When working for these badges the leaders ask for the co-oper­ ation of the parents in helping their sons to do “their best” at this work. When the Cub reaches twelve years of age, he goes on to Scouts, where he learns the more advanced work of Scout­ ing. Brownies The Brownies are a newly or­ ganized group in Exeter and since the first of the year there have been 24 names entered on the roll. They meet in the Le­ gion Rooms at 6.30 every Thurs­ day evening. The Brownies are girls be­ tween 7 and 11 who band themselves together in Packs under a Brown Owl (Lillian Hunter-Duvar) and a Tawny Owl (Roberta Kirby) in order to explore the world of home and school for adventure jn “Lending a hand”. , The Brownie’s first battle­ ground is her home, and the person best able to judge .her progress is her Mother, and so we ask all Mothers of Brownies to co-operate as much as pos­ sible with us, and to show as ■much interest and sympathy to Brownie daughters as they are able. There will be times when we need Mother’s help, such as allowing the Brownie to use at home—as much and as often as possible—the things she learns with the Pack, such as darning, sewing on buttons, doing her hair, cleaning shoes, etc. When she can do these things success­ fully for herself, she should be encouraged to do them for oth­ ers in the home, when there is time and opportunity. We so often find that the Brownie learns all these useful things with great zest at Pack Meetings but when she comes to carry them out at home there is not much opportunity or encourage­ ment, and so she becomes dis­ couraged. When her help is really needed it is little wonder she is rather lacking in spon­ taneity. We hope the Mothers will co-operate with us and we will try to make this .new or­ ganization a permanent one.
