16 . the catoctin banner . September 2009 Cub Scouts Annual Bike Rodeo by Richard Gibbs Twenty five cub scouts from Pack 270 participated in the Pack’s annual bike rodeo, spending a Saturday morning learning about bicycle maintenance and safety, and then participating in a series of skills events that tested their biking abilities. The Thurmont Police Department graciously allowed the Pack to utilize their parking lot for the event, and the youngsters took advantage of the multi-level lot to ride through cone weaves, a series of turns to test their hand-signal skills, participate in balancing skills and test their ability to toss newspapers while riding. Officer Tyler Kemp impressed the boys with a talk about bike safety, stressing the importance of riding with helmets properly fitted. The department also provided the information regarding bike safety and gave the kids registration forms to register their bikes with the Department. Dave Stellitano, whose son was previously a member of the Pack and is now with Boy Scout Troop 270, spent a good deal of time demonstrating the basics of bike maintenance. The rodeo, held on August 28, is the first event of the Pack’s year, which also features such events as the Pinewood Derby, outdoor camping, hiking, visits to historic sites, Christmas caroling, and public service activities including food collection and roadside cleanup projects. This year’s bike rodeo culminated with a pizza party at the town’s pavilion behind the police station, with pizza provided by Rocky’s. Pack 270 meets as a pack on the third Monday of every month, at 6:30, at the American Legion building in Thurmont, and invites any child ages 6-10 to join in the fun and excitement of cub scouting, just come to a meeting and sign up.

The shift from the former Thurmont Library’s one-room coziness to the spacious facility which brought a much larger selection of books and movies to for library users has been a refreshing treat. In the new library, it is much easier to park, locate resources and check-out and return library materials. The updated children’s area has computers that play games and teach at the same time. The young adult section has a large selection and comfortable space where young adults can safely hang out and talk about their favorite books. Older adults enjoy weekly and monthly craft sessions and discussions about a variety of topics including taxes and health care.
