THEME
FOR MARCH
of this issue of Scouting Magazine which will de-
scribe the best method of teaching the printing
process to a Cub Scout Den. Remember, you'll first
want to teach the same process to leaders in your
monthly Pack Leaders' meeting.
PHOTOGRAPH ALBUMS
It is difficult to fully enjoy photography as a
hobby, or even get full satisfaction from casual
snapshots without the development of a systematic
method of displaying them. The simplest method,
of course, is to have a photograph album in which
the prints are classified according to subject. Pho-
tographs often get lost and destroyed unless they
are kept in an album.
You'll find suggestions on photograph albums
under the "Photography" Elective in each of the
Cub Scout Books. You'll also find some helpful sug-
gestions in each of the books under the "Scrap-
book" and "Collection" Achievements. This month
let's try to encourage every boy to make his own
photograph album.
"DEN DOINGS" SNAPSHOTS
Encourage each Den to take pictures of the vari-
ous activities of the Den. Mount these pictures on a
colorful "Den Doings" display card which will be
exhibited at the Pack meeting, then hang the cards
in the Den meeting place.
PACK PICTURE EXHIBIT
In preparation for this we would like to fill the
walls of the Pack meeting with pictures taken dur-
ing the month, arranged according to Dens. To
make this more interesting, perhaps you will want
to develop certain picture classifications such as
pets, family activities, sports, nature, etc. The very
suggestion of these areas may stimulate the boys
to plan their picture-taking more carefully. Let the
boys of each Den determine which of the pictures
taken by Den members will be displayed in the
Den exhibit.
"SCRAPBOOK" AND
"COLLECTION" ACHIEVEMENTS
Not only can every Cub Scout earn some credits
in the "Photography" Elective during the month,
but he can also pass his Wolf, Bear or Lion "Scrap-
book" or "Collection" Achievement.
In developing his scrapbook he can use photo-
graphs to help illustrate the things he writes about.
His collections can also include photographs.
DEN DEMONSTRATIONS
Both during the Pre-Opening period and during
the Pack meeting itself, Cub Scouts may put on
demonstrations in the use of cameras, picture-
printing, etc. You'll find a whole page of sugges-
tions for your Pack meeting on page 17 of this
issue of Scouting Magazine.
