Wow. I remember going through the program. Doing all the cub scout/ webelos stuff and then becoming a boy scout. I think I gave it up when I was around 12/13? I had fun. Not many do it around where I live now. My boy is almost 6. Thought about looking into it for him.

I was an Eagle Scout as a kid. Our troop was 40 kids. I had a lot of fun. We camped every month, summer camp, white water rafting trip, took a trip to Washington DC one year

Did you go to the big Scouts Jamboree in PEI where Anne Murray did a concert for all the scouts and they filmed it for a TV special she did at Peggys Cove ?

Still have my Wolf Cub outfit. This outfit is around the 55 year old mark. Give or take a year or so. Never to be that small again

Growing up there was not a cub scout or boy scout group around. After having a family and living where I do now, my wife was a cub scout den leader. My son went on to be an Eagle scout in boy scouts and the order of the arrow. Now he lives in Oregon where he loves the out doors and camping there.

Cubs for me too. Still have my badges, I know I have my kub kar somewhere too! Really enjoyed it as a kid, have to look and see if there's a local one for my kids in another year or two.

Cub Scouts for me. Wasn't much into it for some reason. Really liked the outdoors part of it and we made model racing cars out of blocks of wood. I won the several years in a row. Looking back not sure why didn't go on to boy scouts. But that's trying to remember things I am too old for anymore. I am 70 years old so it has been a while. I suspect it had something to do with girls and cars but not sure.

Started with the Cub Scouts. Various women were the leaders, some better than others. We kind of followed whatever my older brother was into. We didn't have Boy Scouts in the immediate area, so went 4H route until half way thru high school. Actually finished high school/early college involved in Demolay.

Actually I should have spelled it the following way: DeMolay. A young mans organization sponsored by the Masonic Lodge. They took as their namesake a man from France by the name of Jacques DeMolay who was burned at the stake after serving the church honorably in the Crusades. The King of France was the one who actually ordered him put to death for not revealing the names of some of his associates.
That is enough of that, but he is in most Encyclopedias.
