I stumbled upon this and it just seemed to fit…

Lest we forget our fowl friends…

Here is Cubbie. Cubbie is, or should I say was our district mascot. He was giving out to the pack that had the most attendees at a Cub roundtable, with the promise someone would bring him back at the next roundtable. Our pack got him for two months, about 5 years ago. I got to hold on to him and since I was outdoors chair at the time he went on pack campouts with us and came to our den meetings.

Cubbie had a colorful history. Each pack that would keep him would add something to him, such as a unit number patch, usually to his backpack (not shown on this picture). I don't know how old he is, but he had Quality Unit patches dating from the '80's. I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that he once disappeared for a year, only to turn up in the parking lot during a roundtable meeting.

I'm not too involved in the district anymore, but from what I know, Cubbie has disappeared again. This is sad, because as far as I can tell, he's the longest-serving Cub Scout in our district. After 20 or more years, you'd think he'd move on from the Bear program.
