CUB SCOUTS MAY SIGN UP FOR ADVENTURE CAMP

Cub Scouts and boys interested in Scouting may enroll for the "Longhorns to Locomotives" Adventure Day Camps, being held this summer at four locations.

The week-long camp is for registered Cub Scouts and Tiger Cubs graduating from first through fourth grades. Boys interested in joining Scouting may call the Boy Scout Service Center.

Camp fees include a T-shirt, segment patch, crafts and drinks. Fees are $27 if received by May 14. The fee goes up to $30 from May 15 through the start of the camp.

Scouts should bring a sack lunch each day. Transportation is arranged by parents. Car pools are recommended.
