WAITING LIST FOR CUB


PACK A CUB pack in Whalley is proving so popular that a waiting list will have to be da-awn up . . . and there is ) also a move to. restart the 2nd Whalley Scout Troop, j The minimum number of j


12 boys required for a troop j has already been reached, but it is hoped that any boys not attached to a S c o u t group and any parents who could spare time to assist with the run­ ning of a troop will attend a meeting in Whalley schoolroom. It is an open group, so anyone is welcome to go along on February 22nd at 7-30 p.m. Several events, both social


and fund-raising, will be held in the future, and the group hopes for plenty of support. Further information about


the troop can be obtained from group Scout leader Mr L. G. Barber, 16 The Grove, Whalley (telephone 2577), cr Scout leader Mr P. Ridings, 26 Knowsley Road, Wilpshire (telephone Black­ burn 49555).
