Lecture On Young Civil War Soldiers

On Tuesday, June 24, at 6:30 p.m., come to the Montrose Theatre (18 Public Ave.) to enjoy a presentation entitled “The Boys in Blue” by Commonwealth Speaker Richard Sauers, historian and author.

This Civil War uniform is on display at the Susquehanna County Historical Society.

Far too often, books present Union Civil War soldiers as cardboard cutouts who fought the enemy and won the war. Few books portray common soldiers as they actually lived and died. Sauers will examine the common soldiers in blue and how they coped with a war in which more than 600,000 men died. Many of the soldiers were teenagers who learned to cope with army life by playing practical jokes, getting into trouble and, at times, harassing civilians. This often humorous presentation will show youthful soldiers in a new light.

The Library and Historical Society is sponsoring this first lecture in a summer series of three, in conjunction with the Montrose Theatre (the other dates are July 23 and August 20).

These presentations are a program of the Pennsylvania Humanities Council, supported in part by a grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. The Pennsylvania Humanities Council, a nonprofit organization, inspires individuals to enjoy and share a lifetime of learning. For more information on the lecture, call 278-1881 or visit www.susqcolibrary.org.

All Aboard For Cub Scout Fun
By Andrew R. Zilnik, Delahanna District Executive

It’s not too late to “get your ticket” for a week of Scouting fun and adventure at Cub Scout Day Camp – even for new Scouts! But you’ll have to hurry as the date, July 7-11, is fast approaching.

Delahanna Boy Scout District is once again planning a week of games, fishing, shooting sports instruction, scout skills, and crafts for the Day Camp, which is held at the Central Conservation Club in S. Montrose every July, and is open to all registered Cub Scouts. A “transportation” theme will bring special guests every day, who will share their theme-related interests with the Cub Scouts. The camp ends on Friday with an extended program that includes a family picnic and skits performed by the dens and staff, for everyone’s enjoyment.

A special program this year will allow a prospective Tiger Scout to attend Day Camp on Wednesday, July 9, for free. Boys entering first grade in August/September, 2008 are invited to enjoy the Cub Scout program this day at camp if registered in advance and accompanied by a parent all day. To register for this free day, call Assistant Camp Director Andy Doppel at 278-2060 as soon as possible.

Cub Scouts who have not yet signed up for camp can do so by calling Camp Director Jim Borosh at 278-4875, or Program Director Kathy Prusack at 965-2833. Don’t miss this opportunity to be transported to the fun and adventurous world of Cub Scouting, where values are instilled, citizenship is promoted, and life-long friends are made.
