A Kind of Welcome Wagon for New Cub Families

A Kind of Welcome Wagon for New Cub Families

Taking a cue from how a family moving into a new neighborhood might be greeted with a "Welcome Wagon" basket of gifts, a Cub Pack in Michigan gifts each new Cub family a white paper sack with some useful outdoor stuff plus some trail mix.

The sack also contain some information for the parents, but just a bit. As described in a recent issue of Scouting Magazine (click here), "Few families have time to read a thick packet of information — at least not right after joining your pack. But they will appreciate information that’s succinct, timely and relevant."

The article was based on a tip to Scouting Magazine from Cub Pack 3685 in Farwell, Michigan.
