Nome Cub Scout Pack Organized

Nome will have the whole Scout program available to it's boys this week, as a Cub Scout Pack is added to the existing troop and Air Explorer Squadron, Russ Ap- pie, Alaska Council field execu- tive, said today.
 This will mean, Apple said, that Nome will have joined several other Alaskan communities in providing the full range of char acter building and citizenship training activities for the boys
 A Nome boy may now start into Cub Scouting at 8 years old, and continue on through the three pro- grams until he is 16 or older, re- ceiving the full benefit of Scout training for or more of his most formative years.
 This increase in Scouting in Nome, Apple revealed, as well as in other Alaskan towns, has been the direct result of the activities of the Alaska Boy Scout Council, which was formed four years ago by Alaskan businessmen ot bring the Scouting program in it's en- tirety to Alaska. Since formation of the Council, Scout membership has jumped from 25l to more than 1900.
 The financing of the Council is the joint responsibility of all Alas kan towns with Scout units, Apple said, and this year all Scout towns including Point Barrow, Fort Yu- kon, and the small fishing com munities of the southeast coast are participating.
 Both Fairbanks and Anchorage have completed their finance cam paigns this year, with both towns exceeding last years total.
