Q
TROOP-PICK
Are important to the smooth transition of every
Cub Scout into Scout Troop membership. Try this.
Invite the Scoutmaster of the Troop most of your
boys join, to appear every so often at the parents'
part of your Pack meeting. Introduce him, lay a
good foundation and then let him tell about Scout-
ing and his Troop, and how they operate. This sell-
ing of the parent may be just the device needed to
bridge the gap for your boys. Try it.
NOTE: If you have a scheme that helps you
operate better, write it down and send it to the Cub
Scouting Service so we can share it with others.
STABILITY In leaAeAAj^lp- co*utti
The longer a leader stays, the more experience
gained and the better the program goes over — so
the boy gets a better program — the result is he
stays longer because his Den and his Pack continue
to operate successfully year after year and every-
body is happy.
The following information came as a good exam-
ple from the Calvin Presbyterian Church Pack in
Philadelphia, as it prepared for its annual Blue and
Gold Banquet held last February when it celebrated
its 15th anniversary
"Pack 350 will celebrate its 15th Anniversary in
February, 1952. More than 325 boys have been mem-
bers of the Pack. One of the Charter Members is
registering as an Assistant Cubmaster this month.
Another former Cub Scout is a member of the Com-
mittee. Five former Cub Scouts of the Pack are now
serving as Assistant Scoutmasters of Troop 350. Two
others are known to be Assistants in other Troops.
Mrs. Pearl Butler has been a Den Mother for 14
years. Mrs. Elsie Raibley has been a Den Mother for
12 years, and both hold the Scouter's Training
Award. Albert G. Mueller has been Cubmaster for
the entire 15 years, except for 3 years in military
Service. He has been awarded the Scouter's Key and
the Silver Beaver. Mr. Charles T. Robertson has
been Chairman of the Committee for 15 years. An-
other Den Mother, Mrs. Betty Johnston has received
the Scouter's Award.
"Pack 350 has met continuously during these 15
years, with monthly Pack meetings and weekly Den
meetings. Parent attendance at Pack meetings have
averaged better than 90%. Cub Scout attendance
for Den and Pack meetings has averaged 94%.
Monthly themes are used, following the suggestions
in the Program Notebook and Scouting Magazine."

the- DEN CHIEF ( Oil!)
^ SERVICE STARS
Question: Does a former Den Chief continue to
wear his Den Chief Cord? How are years of service
as a Den Chief indicated?
Answer: The Den Chief's Cord encircles the
sleeve of the right shoulder of his uniform. It is worn
at all times, including Scout activties, but only as
long as he is a Den Chief. A Cub Scout Service
Star is worn on the tab or epaulet for each year he
serves as a Den Chief. It marks him as a Troop
leader. A Den Chief may continue to wear the epau-
let and service Stars on his uniform after he is no
longer a Den Chief. He cuts the cord off.
