Each Adult Cubber may choose to go to the one Pow Wow that best suits his or her schedule and location. Both programs will be identical in content and staff. "We are offering the two dates and locations in order to accommodate as many leaders as possible," emphasized Mrs. Cox . This year's Pow Wow's are taking on a different look in other ways, too, than those of recent years. The other major ·change, besides the choice of which Pow Wow a person ma:v \ \ \ / attend, is the centralization of the Pow Wow staff, according to Margurite Goslowsky, Council Cub Training Chairman. The central staff will conduct the two Pow Wow Sessions. Classes for Den Leaders will be offered in Crafts, Games, Skits and Puppets, and Songs and Ceremonies. Each Class will be one hour long. For Webelos leaders there will be a two-hour class, Webelos Den Activities, Pack Administration, also a twohour class, will be given for Cubmasters and Committee Members. In addition to their two-hour class, Webelos I ,eaders· and Pack Administration participants may sign up for two other one-hour classes or the other two-hour class. l\egistration materials will be mailed to all registered Cub I ,eaders, and additional forms will be available at the Scout Service Center. Since space will be limited at each Pow Wow, rese-rva tions will be accepted first-come, firstserved .

PURPOS E OF THE BSA The Boy Scouts of America was incorporat ed to provide, for community organizati ons, a program that offers effective character , citizensh ip, and personal fitness training for youth. Specifica lly, the BSA endeavors to develop American citizens who are physically, mentally, and emotionall y fit; have a high degree of selfreliance as evidenced in such qualities as initiative, courage, and resourcef ulness; have personal values hased on religious concepts; have the desire and skills to help others; understand the principles of the American social, economic, and government~! systems; are knowledge able about arid take pride in their American heritage and understand our nation's role in the world; have a keen respect for the basic rights of all people; and are prepared to participate in and give leadership to American society. SCOUT PROGRA M MEMBERSHIP Hoy Scouting, one of three membersh ip divisions of th{' BSA (the others are Cub Scouting and Exploring) , is available to boys who are at least 1 0 1/:! y ea rs o I d a n d h a v e completed the fifth grade or who are 1 1 through 17 years old. The program achieves the BSA 's objective s of developi ng character , citizensh ip. and personal fitness qualities among youth by focuHing on n vigorouK program of outdoor activities. Currently, the Boy Scout ·program members hip is : l, l 2:J,:H 6 Hoy · Scouts; 4:U>, l m adult volunteers; i17,008 troops . . · VOLUNT EER SCOUTER S Thousand s of volunteer . leaders, hoth men and women, are involved in · the Bov Scout .program. They serve in ~.-variety of j (1bs-eve ryth in g from chairmen of troop committee s to committ ee members . and commissio ners. to · merit badgt• counselo rs and Scouting coordinators~ ·The positions of Scoutmast er. assisfant Seoutmaster. and Lone Scout friend and counselor are held by adult males only. WHO CAN USE THE BOY SCOUT PROGRA M? L.i ke other phases 1)f the Scouting program, Hoy Scouting . is made available to groups having similar interests and goals. Sponsor s inc·lude professio nal organizat ions. governm ent bodies, and religious, education al. civic, fraternal. business. labor and citizen's groups. These sponsors are called chartered organizations. Each organiza tion appoints ·<>ne of its members as Scouting coordinat or. ThP organiza tion. through the committee, is responsible for leadership. the meeting place. and support for troop adi vi ties. WHO PAYS FOR IT? Several groups are responsi h le for supportin g Boy Scouting: the boy and his parents, t~e troop, the chartered organizatiq n, and the community. Boys are encouraged to earn money whenever possible to pay their own expenses, and they also contribute dues each week to their troop treasuries to pay for budgeted items. Troops obtain a dditional income by working on a pproved money -ea rning projects. ThP communi ty , induding parents, supports Scouting through the United Way, sustaining membershi p enrollment , bequests, and special contribut ions to the local Scouting council. This provides leadership training. outdoor programs, council service centers and other fa C' i I it it• s. and professiona l service for units. AIMS AND METHOD S OF THE SCOUTIN G PROGRA M The Scouting program has th _re e s p e ci f i c oh j e ct i v es , commonly referred to as the "Aims of Scouting." They are charactt•r developme nt, citizenship training, and personal fitness. The methods by which the aims are achieved are listed below in random order to emphasize the equal importance of each. Ideals. The ideals of Boy Seouting are spelled out in the Scout Oath, the Scout Law. motto, and slogan. The Scout measures himself against these ideals and continually tries to improve. The goals are high, and, as hP reaehes for them, he has some control ovPr what ht> becomes. Patrols. The patrol method gives Hoy Sl'outs <in experienee in group living and participati ng citizenship . [t places a certain amount of responsibil ity on young shoulders . and tei1<"hes hoys how to aecept it. The patrol method allows Scouts to act in Kmu.11 · groupH w!iere ·they .can easily n•latt• to Pach other. Thl'Sl' small groups determine troop activities through their elected represen ta ti ves. Outdoor l'roRram. Boy ·Scouting is desiJ!nt>d to take place out.doors. It is in tht> outdoors that Scouts shart> responsibil ities and learn to live with eaC'h other. [ t. is here that the skills and aeti vi ties practiced i\t troop meetings come alive with purposP. Being dose to nature helps Hoy Scouts gain an appreciatio n for (;od's handiwork and mankind's placein it. The outdoors is the laboratory for Hoy Scouts to learn ecology and practice conservati on of nature'." rl'SOU f('('S. Aduanc1'me11t. Roy Scouting provides a series of 1o1urmountable obstacles and steps to overcome them through the advancem ent method. The Boy ·Scout plans his advanceme nt arid progresses at . his own pace as he ovnC'omes eac'h challenge. The Hoy Scout is rewarded for each achieveme nt. which helps him gain self-r{'lianc e and the ability to help others. Adult Malt• Associatio n. Boys learri from tht:• t•xample of their adult lead('rs. In his quest for manhood . every hoy needs contact with mt>ri ht• drn c<)py. The Seoutmas tt•r and his assistants provide a masculine image of tht> vitality and virility of Roy Scouting. Providing good exnmplt•s of manhood is one of the methods of Roy &·outing. P1•r.wmal (;rmrth. As Roy Scouts plan their activities and progress toward their goals. they {'XperiencP pt>rsonal growth . The Cood Turn conct>pt is a major part of tht> personal growth m ethod of Hoy Scouting. Boys grow as they participate in community service projects and do Good Turns for oth l' rs . Thl'rt' probably no dl'viee so is successful in developing a hasis for personal g.rowth as the daily Cood Turn . The rel igi ou s emblems program also is a large part of the personal growth method . Frequent person a I <"onferences with his Scout. master help each Hoy Scout to determine his growth toward Scouting's aims. f,l'ad,•r.-;hip l><'1 1l'lopme11t. The Boy Scout program enC"ourages hoys to learn and practice leadership skills. Every Hoy Scout has the opportunit y to participate in hoth shared and total . leadership situations . Understan ding th(' concepts of leadership helps a hoy accept the leadership role of others and guides him toward the citizenship aim of Scouting. Uni(urm. The uniform makes the Hoy Scout troop visible as a force for good and creates a positive youth image in the community . Boy Scouting is an action program. and wearing thP uniform is an action that shows eaeh Hoy Scout's commitment to the aims and purposes of Scouting.

Thompson Seton. an American n:a turalist. artist. writer. and lecturer. orginated a group called the Woodcraft Indians. and in 1902 wrote a f.!Uidebook for hoys in hiH organizatio n called the Hirch Hark Holl. Meanwhile in Britain.

Beard, who had established another youth group, the Sons of Daniel Boone ·(which he later merged J.47.9 with the HSA). provided assistance. Also on hand for this historic event was ,James E. West, a la\'.ryer and advocate of children's rights, who would later heeomP the first professional Chief Scout Executive of the Hoy Scouts of America.

PURPOSE OF THE RSA The Boy Scouts of America was incorporated to provide, for community organizations, a program that offers effective character, citizenship, and personal fitness training for youth. Spec ifically, the HSA endeavors to <levelop American c1t1zens who a re physically, mentally, and emotionally fit; have a high degree of selfreliance as e videnced in such qua lities as initiative, courage, and resourcefulness ; have person a l values hased on religious concepts; ha ve the desire and skills to help others; understand the principles of the American social, economic, and governme ntal systems; a r e knowledgea ble ahout and take pride in their American heritage and understand our na tion's role in the world; have a keen respect fo~ the hasic rights of all people; and are prepared to participa te in and give leadership to American society. SCOUT PROGRAM MEMBERSHIP Hoy Scouting, one of three memhership divisions of -the RSA (the others are C uh Scouting and 1<:xploring), is available to boys who are at least 101/, years old and h a ve completed the fifth grade or who are I I through 17 years old. The program achieves the HSA 's ohjectives of developing character, C'itizenship, a nd personal fitness qualities among youth by focusing on a vigorous program of outdoor activities. Currently, th ~ Hoy Scout ·program -membership . is: I.I :l:l,:ll 6 Hoy Scouts: 4:m. [():I adult volunteers: il7,008 tr<K>ps. VOLUNTEER SCOUTERS Thousands .· of volunteer leaders. hi1th men and women. · are involved in the Bov Scout ·program. They serve in ,; variety of jobs-everything from chairmen <if troop committees to committee members and commissioners, tp. merit hadge counselors and S c outing coordinators. The positions of Scoutmaster. assistant Scoutmaster. and Lone Scout friend ·. and counselor are held hy adult males only. WHO CAN USE THE BOY SCOUT PROGRAM? I .ike other phases of the Scouting program, Hoy Scouting is made available to groups having similar intere~ts and goals. Sponsors include professional organizations. gove rnment b<>dies, a nd religious. educational. civic, fra ternal, business, lahor and citizen's groups. These sponsors are called chartered organizations . E ach organization appoints one of its members as Scouting coordinator. Tht• organization. through the committee. is responsible for leadership. the meeting place. and support for troop activities. WHO PAYS FOR IT? Several groups are responsible for supporting Boy Scouting: the hoy and his parents, the· troop, the chartered organiza tion, a n<l the commu, nity. Boys a re encouraged to earn money whenever possible to pay their own expenses, and they also contrihute dues each week to their troop treasuries to pay fo r budgeted items. Troops obtain additional income by working on appr oved money-earning projects. Th<' community. including pan•nts, supports Scouting through the United Way, sustaining membership enrollment. heq uests. and special contrih utions to the · local Scouting council. This provides leadership tra ining, outdoor programs, council service centers and other facilitil's . and professional service for units. AIMS AND METHODS OF THE SCOUTING PROGRAM The Scouting program has three spec ific ohjective s , commonly referred to as the "Aims of Scouting." They a re cha·racter de velopment, citizenship training, and personal fitness. The methods hy which the aims a re achieved are listed helow in random order to emphasize the equal importance of each. Ideals. The ideals of Boy Seouting are spelled out in the Scout Oath, the Scout Law. motto, and slogan. The Scout measures himself against these ideals and <«>ntinually t ries to improve. The goals are high, and, as he reaches for them, he has some control ovt>r what he hecomes. Patrols. The patrol method gives Hoy Scouts an experience in group living and participating citizenship. It places a certain amount of responsihility on young shoulders and tea<'hes hoys how to accept it. The patrol method allows Scouts to act in small groups where they can easily n .. latt• to t•ach other. These small groups determine troop activities through their elected represen ta ti ves. Outdoor l'ropram . Boy ·Scouting is designed to take place outdoors. H is in tht> outd<Kirs that S<·outs - sharl' responsihilities and learn· to live with ea<'h other. It is here that.the skills and a<:tivities practiced at troop meetings come ·alive with purpose. Heing dose to nature helps Hoy Scouts gain an appreciation for Cod's handiwork and mankind's place in it. Tht-outdoors is the lahoratory for Hoy Scouts to learn e<·ology and practice conservation of nature's resou r<·es. Adl'ancement. Roy Scouting provides a series of ~urmountable0 ob::;tacles a nd steps to overcome them through the . advancement method. The Boy S<:out plans his advancement and prog.resses at his own pace as he overcomes eaC'h challenge. The Hoy Seout is rewarded for each achievement. which ·helps him gain self-relian<'e and the ahility to help others. Adult Mali• As:wciati1111. Boys lea rn from the t•xample vf their adult l t•ad~rs: In his quest for manhood. t•ver~ hoy needs contact with men hl' <'an <'opy. The Scoutma stt>r and his assistants providl' a mas<'uline image of the vitality and virility of Roy Scouting. l'rovidi ng good examples of manhood is one of the methods of Boy &outin~. p,•rslmal (;rmrth. As Hoy Scouts plan their activities and progress toward their goals. they experien<'e personal growth. The Cood Turn ('oncept is a major part of th(• personal growth method of Ho:v Scouting.

The r('ligious emblems program a lso is a la rgt> part of the personal growth method. Frequent personal C'onferences with his Scoutma ster help each Hoy Scout to determine his growth toward Scouting's aims. l.1•ad1·rship /)1•1 •!'lopm1•nt. The Boy S <'out program en('ourages hoys to learn and practice leadership skills. Every Hoy Scout has the opportunity to pa rticipa te in hoth shared and tot a 1 1 eadersh i p situ at ions. Understanding the concepts of lea dership helps a boy accept the leadership role of others and guides him toward the <'itizenship aim of Scouting. Un iform. The uniform makes the Hoy Scout troop visihle as a force for good and creat es a positive youth image in the community. Hoy Scouting is an a ction program. and wearing the uniform is an action tha t shows eaeh Hoy Scout's commitment to t he aims and purposes of S<'outing. Th(• uniform gives the Hoy Scout identity in a world hrotherhood of youth who helieve in the same ideals. The uniform , is practical attire for Boy Scout activities and provides a way for Roy Scouts to wear the badges that show what they have accomplis hed. Thompson Seton. an American n aturalist. artist. writer. and lecturer. orginated a group called the Woodcraft Indians. a n d in 1902 wrote a guidebook for ho.vs in his organization called the Hirch Hark Holl. Meanwhile in Britain. f{ohe rt Haden-Powell. a fter returning to his country a hero following military service in Africa. found hoys reading the manual he had written for his r egiment on stalking a nd survival in the wild. Gathering ideas from Seton. America's Da niel Carter Bea rd. and other Scoutcr aft eXi:>erts. RadenPowell rewrote his manual as a nonmilita ry skill book, which he called Stoutinl{ for Roys. The hook rapidly gained a wide readership in England and soon hecame popular in the United States. In 1907; when Badenl'owell held the first camp-out for Scouts on Brownsea Island off the coast of England, troops were spontaneously springing up in America. William D. Boyce, a Chicago publisher, incorporated the Boy Scouts of America in 1910 after meeting with Baden-Powell. <Royce was inspired to meet with the British founder by an unknown Scout who led him out of a de nse London fog and refused to take a tip for d oing a Good Turn.)

THE Bl<:GINNING OF SCOUTING Scouting. as -known to millions of youth and adults. evolvt-d during the early 1900's th rough the · efforts of severa I men dedi<'ated to hettering youth. These pioneers of the program conceived outdoor activities that developed skills in young b:iys and gave them a sense of enjoyment. fellowship. and a code of conduct for every~ay living. In this country and ahroad at the turn of the century, it was th:1ught t hat children needed certain kinds of E'ducation that the schools couldn't or didn't provide. This lt>d to the formation of a variety of youth groups. m an~· with tht.• word Scout in their names. For example. Ernest What ·1s A Boy Scout? , What is a Boy Scout? He comes in many sizes, shapes, and colors. His first purpose in life seems to be to outgrow his uniform. He likes · dirt. rocks, snakes, sticks. trees, noise, campfires. ghost stories, men. swimming. hiking. camping, and more camping. He doesn't care much for rainy weather, lectures: homework, washing, fires that won't burn, and Girl Scouts. He is many different things· to · different people: To mother he's a uniform that must be washed and ironed each week. badges to he sewn on, lunches to he packed. mess kits that need to be scrubbed. and a lump in her throat when he marches hy on parade. To dad he's a source cif pride. a pack of trouble. a constant s tream of information ... a chip off the old hlock. To the troop committee he's the hoy who has trouble with his Morse code. can't seem to tie a doverhitch. constantly needs transportation. money and time. To the scoutmaster a Roy Scout is a hf'adache and a heartache. a problem and a prize. a bundle of questions ... a lwa~·s pred ic t a b le yet a <'onsta nt surprise. To the comr 1unity a Hoy Scout is an idea ... the picture of a dt>ancut youngster he lping an old lady across the street. ;;aving lives, helping in emergencies, finding a lost child, and administering first aid. He's hope with a handcarved neckerchief slide, joy with a pack on his back. determination with a wet match , courage with a flashlight, our hope for tomorrow - this Roy Scout of today!!

After ea rning the Hear hadgl', a Cub Scout graduates with ceremony into a \\'ehelos den. This is a specia l den for a hoy who has rem·h(•d a g<' I 0 or completed the fourth μ-radt'. The \\'ehelos Scout program is more cha llenginμ- to the older Cub Seout-in fact. he's ·now ca lled a \\'ehelos Scout and wears a diffrrent kind of nt•ckl'rchief a n d. hat s ignifying his new status. !\l('etings are usually held in the earl ~.- l' \·ening or on Saturday.

ACTIVITIES At the weekly den mt•etings. a Cub Scout starts an activity. Perha ps it is a h a ndicraft projl>ct or praeticing a stunt for the next pack meeting. During the week. with his parents' help, he finishes the projeet or perfeets the stunt. If it happens to be something required for his Wolf or Bear advancement. mother or d ad signs his Cub Scout hook. In this way. Cub Scouting helps to strengthen family ties . Pack meetings. attended by boys and their families , give pa rents a ehance to see their sons in action. Most paek meetings a re divided into two pa rts . The first is informa l-boys and parents may view exhibit.<.; or participa te in ga thering-time activities. The second h alf h a s a formal opening, followed by den skits. songs, games or stunts related to a monthly theme. and the awarding of badges earned by the boys since the last pack meeting. OUTDOOR PROGRAM Adventuresome outdoor programs are encouraged for Cub Scouts. These include den field trips. picnics, outings, day camping, and ha.ckyard camping. Because it is homecentered. family camping also is emphasized. Overnight camping on a den or pack basis by ~ or 9- year·old Cub Scouts is not permitted; however. Webelos Scouts are encouraged to go on overnight experiences with their fathers. In addition. Cuh Scout day camps are conducted by nea rly all Scouting councils. .

Cuh Scouts. Boy Scouts. Explorers. and adult lea ders ean earn a colorful Olympie p atch by p a rti c ipa ting in the R8A " Olympic 'l't•am (;ood Turn, .. a national program jointly sponsored by the Roy _ Scouts of America and Coca-Cola U.S.A. Noone has to win any kind of event to qua lify. No contest is involved in th is specific proj!ram. To he eligible for the patch. each of you who ta kes part must contribute one dollar to the U.S. Olympic team and be involved in a physical fitness activity that is challenging for you. For doing these two things, Coca-Cola U.S.A. will give you a patch similar to the one shown on page one. The whole idea -is to help support our Olympic team. which must have donations to pay for .training camps. trials, and the actual Olympics competition. Participa tion in the Olympic Team G~1 i1d Tum by members of the BSA will h elp our members a nd the public to be more a ware of the Boy Scouts of. America 's emphasis on service to others and pride in America. . [n addition. Cub Scouts, Hoy Scouts, and Explorers should invite friends to participate along with them in the Olympic Team Good Turn: Non Scouts who do can a lso qualify for the patch. Any friend that you personally invite to participate should also be asked to join your unit. The program continues until ,July 1980. The real winners are not only the Olympic athletes. but those of you who take time to give of your own money, not money you have solicited, to help our U.S. athletes t a ke a shot at winning a medal in the World Olympic Games. Each· unit. of course. can deeide what c·onstitutes a challenging physicial activity. There a re. as you'll see, a wide variety of chokes. so that none of your memhers need he on the sidelines.
