Baltimore AP reports the Boy Scouts of America reaffirmed a long standing policy that women cannot be cubmasters as leadership must be male for Cub Scouting. The issue arose after a Maryland pack lost its charter when Majorie Ripple, a mother, sought a cubmaster role despite officials offering only den mother duties. Also noted is a Cordy Salvation Army advisory board installation at a city citadel with Paul C Roche named chairman.
