The theme for January being “Space” the Cubs had a Space Derby for the January Pack meeting in Grace Church Fellowship Hall. The Dads really get involved in this one, not only in the building of the space ship but in the racing. In the speed category, Robert Waskow came in first, Willie Winter, second and Andy Renard, third. Two people tied for having the best decorated ship, Conan McPherron and Rodrigo Sanchez. The most unusual prize went to Nolan Sanders. And a good time was had by all. February is the month for celebrating the organizing of the Boy Scouts of America. This is the 65th anniversary for Boy Scouts and the 45th for Cub Scouts. The month started out with Cubs and parents attending the Grace Church Methodist Men’s annual dinner. Each group invited presented a skit. Cubs did “St. Louis Scouting Has It From A to Z.” On the 9th, Boy Scout Sunday the Troop and Pack attend the 11 a.m. worship service together at Grace Church, their sponsoring institution. February is always the Annual Blue and Gold Pot luck supper. This year it will be the 25th. A high light of the program will be the graduation of Peter Watkins and Andrew Cross into Boy Scouts.
