bership, and advancement and recogni-
tion.
The 37 trainees, among which were 12
husband-wife teams, were a varied group
ranging from a council vice-president for
Cub Scouting to several den leaders. Many
wear at least two hats in Scouting, with one
hat representing a district position. All had
been invited to take the course on the
recommendation of their local councils.
Because of the variety of the trainees'
interests and positions, some parts of the
course were not applicable to their con-
cerns. But as one pointed out, "If we aren't
interested in something, we don't take
notes on it. It's a cram course, but luckily
they give you literature to go with it so you
can study later."
The trainees were divided into five
"districts" that functioned like dens in
preparing opening and closing ceremo-
nies, skits, and special activities; there
were also buzz groups that answered
questions posed by the class. Husbands
and wives were placed in different districts
so that they would have varied viewpoints
to take home.
Classes were held in a lounge at the
reservation's trading post snack bar build-
ing a couple of miles from the family
camp, removing any temptation the train-
ees might have had to play hooky and join
the recreational program their spouses and
kids were enjoying. Family camp co-di-
rector Rick Lowy commanded the school
bus that carried the trainees to and fro, and
his irrepressible wit enlivened the four
daily trips. Of course, he had a receptive
audience, since Cub Scouters tend to have
a sense of humor and share a camaraderie
that comes with the territory. As trainee
Lavern M. Larson, a roundtable staffer
from Manitowoc. Wis., said. "We love
coming to this kind of event because we
like the people."
The trainees joined their families in the
late afternoon Tor sports and crafts and to
get ready for some special Cub Scout
contests. For example, each family made
and raced a wooden or cardboard turtle
which is put in motion by adroitly maneu-
vering the critter on a string. And each
family made a "genius kit" creation, an
elegant (or preposterous) artistic con-
struction from odds and ends.
In the evenings there was more family
togetherness: campfire programs with
songs, skits, and recognition ceremonies; a
"show and tell" night during which train-
ees displayed and demonstrated Cub
Scouting skills, ceremonial equipment,
crafts and photos and slides of activities of
their home packs and districts; a mock
pack meeting at which Marlin Sieg, one of
the most versatile and knowledgeable Cub
Scouters in the nation, led several fami-
ly-type games; and a "fireside chat" with
the National Director of Cub Scouting
Bob Untch, who answered questions and
discussed Cub Scouting's future.
One of the many evening highlights was
