Cub Report By Danny Wylds This is the monthly Cub report for the month of February and this month was one which kept us busy and having lots of fun with crafts and games. This month we discussed Baden Powel, the man who initiated Cubs and Scouts. Last month, a policeman came and spoke to us about peer pressure and we also had a fake robbery and mock trial. On February 21 we had a church parade and a winter camp. At the winter camp we acted out skits, painted clay and played games. It was a great time for everyone and we'd like to thank the parents who helped out. Spring is just around the corner and we have a lot planned so, Cubs, be preparAd. One other note from our leaders: a special thank -you goes out to Ian Hackett and Dave Bere at Dungannon Custom Builders for cutting the wolf heads for us. Members urge you to sign the petitions to be circulated by the South Bruce group in the coming months. The petition states, "All human beings are born freeand equal in dignity and rights." This is the historic promise of the Universal Declaration of Human. Rights, proclaimed by govern- ments in the United Nations 40 years ago. The appeal will be presented on behalf of all signatories to the United Nations and government representatives on Human Rights Day : Dec. 10, 1988. Watch for other public events to be featured as part of the local campaign. For further information on this and on the workings of the South Bruce Group please contact Human Rights Now chairman, Margaret Ferguson, 395-3182.
