CRATER LAKE AREA COUNCIL Boy Scouts of America Hi, Fellows! We want to invite you to be our special guest at our next Pack, Troop or Explorer Post meeting. We want you to join with us in the fun and many activities .that we do. So, if you are 8, 9 or 10, your school has a Cub Pack that you can join with your many friends. Just ask them and they can tell you all about it. You fellows of Boy Scout age, 11, 12 and 13 years old, the church, school or service club in your community sponsors a Scout Troop. Why don't you ask your buddies and you will be more than welcome in the Troop. There are not as many Explorer Units (Air Scouts, Sea Scouts or Explorer Posts) as there are Packs and Troops but there will be one close enough for you to join if you'd like to meet and do things with a real gang of fellows. If you can't find a Cub Pack, Scout Troop or Ex plorer Post, just call, write or come into the Scout Office at 500 East Main Street in Medford. We will certainly be pleased to find a Unit for you. How about you who are Cubs, Scouts and Explorers now inviting a new boy to join your Unit this week? K And say, Dad we have lots of room for you, too, as a leader or in many other positions in Scouting. And, Mom we welcome you as a Den Mother and a mother of a real live-wire son in Scouting. 0 Welcome to the biggest and greatest boys' organiza tion in the world.
