Here’s the place for leaders of Cub packs, Scout troops, and Venture crews of the Soapstone Ridge District, Atlanta Area Council, BSA.

Our current “cover art” is of a 1930 Lion Cubbook. Cub Scouts used to have the ranks of Bobcat (just a pin in the 1960's and it seems like it was just a joining rank), Wolf, Bear, Lion, and Webelos. In the United States from the beginning of the Cub Scouts Program until 1967 there was a Lion rank, but it was discontinued in 1967 in favor of an expanded Webelos Scout Program. As a matter of fact Webelos (or WeBeLoS) used to stand for “Wolf Bear Lion Scout” rather than the current “We'll Be Loyal Scouts”. This Lion Cubbook was given to Robert Patton by Henry Slack, the father of Troop 134 Eagle Scout John Slack, on the occasion of his son's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Also, Henry Slack is the son of the late Silver Beaver Recipient and Scoutmaster of Troop 462 at North Decatur Presbyterian Church from 1960 to 1976, Searcy Slack of the DeKalb District of the Atlanta Area Council, BSA.

We hope to change the art periodically to show a variety of traditional Scouting art.
