Don Lloyd was in the chair and a general discussion was held in regard to various mat- ters including the presentation of new flags, special events coming up during the balance of this year - especially the Investiture of new Scouts and the special ceremony for the promotion of senior Cubs into the Scout troop. The Investiture will take place this month and plans are being completed as to the date and place of this event. The Mothers' Auxiliary will provide the refreshments and all "A" Pack Cubs and Scouts and their parents are invited to attend. A discussion followed on holding of a special Open House in the New Year. It was passed that this event will take place the latter part of January in the form of a demonstration and Open House to the public, to better acquaint them with the training and program followed by the boys from the time they are accepted as a New Churn into Cubs, on through the full activities of Scouting. Many parents have expressed the desire to become better ac- quainted with the outline of training for Cubs and Scouts and it is felt this type of evening would be of great benefit for the boys, their parents, and the general public. A church parade will be held in the New Year and plans for the Father and Son banquet will be set at the next meeting. If the meek inherited the earth, would they stay meek after getting it?, asks the Brant- ford rantford Expositor, SOFTBALL CONVENER George Wicke of Rostock presented the Intermediate and Grand Championship trophies to Murray Shiell, left, and George Procter, captain, on the right at the banquet for the Belgrave champions. -Photo by Cantelon.
