A Note from the

Old Pueblo District District Executive

Hello Great Old Pueblo District!

I’m excited that camping season is upon us. We have lots of Scouters attending Lawton and Double V this summer and some truly fantastic Cub Day Camp Programs going on.

If you need more information about camping please feel free to call or email Rosemary Smith at the service center.

Her phone number is 750-0385 ext. 22 and her email is rosemary@catalinacouncil.org

Many of our Commissioners and Leaders are attending Philmont this summer for training sessions. This is an exciting time for Scouting because these Philmont grads will arrive back in the Old Pueblo District with more great ideas to keep our programs functioning at the highest possible level, our trainings will be more beneficial to a larger number of Scouts and the relationships we build with each other and with the youth become more lasting.

I’m looking forward to another great season of Scouting!

All the best,

Cory Sheeley

For Your Information

The official

"Cub Scouting Program" was introduced by the Boy Scouts of America in 1930, yet its roots go all the way back to the first days of Scouting.

With the early success of the Boy Scouts for boys 12 and over, there was popular demand for a "younger boy program" for the siblings of Scouts.

Because of concerns that a younger boy program might have a negative effect on the Boy Scouts program, the BSA was very careful in their issues with this "younger boy problem." for more info you may want to check out the Scouting Magazine article on "Cubbing" published in June 1930)

In 1916, Sir Robert Baden-Powell introduced the "Wolf Cub" program for younger boys.

 This program soon found its way to numerous communities in the Americas.

There were also other 'younger boy' organizations such as the "Little Lodge" of the "Woodcraft Indians," the "Boy Pioneers," and the "Boy Rangers."

Some BSA Boy Scout Troops were also sponsoring unofficial "Junior Troops" and "Cadet Corps."

 Finally, after 20 years of Boy Scouting in America, "Cub Scouting" was introduced!

What has followed has been nothing short of phenomonal!

Boasting over 50,000,000 members since its inception, no program in history has had the far ranging impact on American youth than

"Cubbing"

and
Cub Scouting have!
