For those of us in volved in Scouting at the JCC, this is a long overdue change. The revision does permit the sponsor ing institution to set its own stan dards with regard to the change, but for us this is not even a con sideration. The JCC has a non-dis crimination policy and those of us in Scouting at the JCC have al ways respected that policy. In fact, we have always encouraged di versity in our membership be cause we feel it is an important component of a child’s education and best reflects contemporary Ju daism’s viewpoint. If you are considering Scouting for your child, or know somebody who is, we hope you will strongly consider Scouting at the J. We are starting a new Cub Pack for boys in grades 1-5. Leadership is by parents and family, but excellent support and training are provided by experienced Scout Council professionals and volunteers. If there is sufficient interest we would also like to start a Scout Troop for boys who have com pleted fifth grade, and a Venturing unit for boys and girls who have completed eighth grade. Cub Scouting is a fun-filled, exciting program with a strong family emphasis. The five objec tives are character development, participatory citizenship, personal fitness, outdoor skills, and leader ship. The focus is on learning by doing. We plan to have most meetings on Sunday afternoons from 4-5:30. In addition to regular meetings. Cub Scouting has a newly revised and exciting ad vancement program. Also, we will plan family activities such as camping, fishing, service events, aircraft carrier trip, and a week of Cub Scout Day Camp. Yes, you can join Cub Scouts at many area churches and a other locations, but why not do it at Shalom Park where you and your son already have family and friends.
