Fourteen cubs went along with leaders and helpers who were Hub Thiel (Akela) and his wife Mary; Hilda Vanderhook, Doug Erb, Cecil C Regier, Karl Regier, Bev esch and Katherine Beierling. All returned tired but happy! They made good use of all the cam- ping equipment that .various people donated to the cub pack, which will be put away for now and used again next year. If anyone still has things they don't want (anything useful for cam- ping, even coolers, etc.) please phone Hub Thiel 236-4557. Last Tuesday evening (June 3rd) was their last meeting for the sum- mer and many visitors were present at the public school gym. It was an ap- preciation night and all who helped out the cubs in any way during the past season were acknowledged. Refreshments of pop, cookies and popcorn were enjoyed afterwards. Registration for next fall will be on Sept. 9 for the Cubs. We would like to see two more groups get started up in town as well, Beavers and Girl Guides. Leaders for both groups are now available- but need some assistants to be able to get it going by fall. If interested in helping out once a week or so, please phone Hub Thiel at 236-4557.
