Youngsters interested in joining the Cub Scouts are invited to a pair of upcoming events to give them a taste of what Scouting is all about.
A swim party and barbecue is planned for 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the Iola Municipal Pool at Riverside Park.
Several Cub Scouts will be there to talk about some of their planned activities for the coming year, from day trips and camping stays, to Pinewood Derby model car race, and Raingutter Regatta.
The Cub Scouts also provide the color guard for local parades and take part in food drives and other fundraisers.
A Scouting Roundup session is planned for 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 at Iola’s Calvary Life Center, 118 W. Jackson Ave., which also serves as the regular meeting point for the Scouts. Regular meetings are from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the first, third and fourth Wednesday of each month.
The Cub Scouts also sell popcorn and host other fundraisers to help pay membership dues or defray costs to attend camps.
