Plans for New Scouting Units in La Crosse This Fall
Plans move ahead for many new Scout units in La Crosse this fall. John Sleik says surveys of public and parochial schools will lead to opportunities for all boys to join Cub Scouts, Scouts, or Senior Scouts. The May national council age changes require more units and stronger leadership to absorb interested boys. A Together meeting is set for Sept 22 with 20 sponsoring institutions to discuss and plan future organization. Units will then be organized under Carrol J. Weigel and Sleik with the local commissioners staff.
