"I've yet to come across a young man I was about to sentence whose pre-sentence report revealed a Scouting background ... Scouts don't go in that direction."' This observation, by ,Justice Ivan Warner of the New York State Supreme Court, tells a big story, but only part of it. Another part is told by Representative Clarence .J. Brown of Ohio, whose s urvey of the 96th Congress showed that 326 of its members, or 60.9 percent, participated as Scouts or volunteer leaders or both. To complete the picture, there is a long list of former Scouts or Scout leaders wh o became " somebody . " Somebody like Presidents Kennedy, Ford, and Carter; like superstars of professional sports and the entertainment world; like leaders in every walk of life. This doesn 't mean that those associated with Scouting always succeed; or that Scouting by itself pr-events crime. What it does mean is that Scouting is goaloriented and stresses character - a nd is exerting a positive force on the three million kids in the United States growing up as Scouts right now. Sounds like a lot of kids? Not when you also consider that three out of four boys, ages seven through 18, are not Scouts when they could be, should be, and · m any of them want to be. !'\ot when it costs so little to bring Scouting to a boy in America. Not when Scouting provides special programs for mentally or physically handicapped boys so they, too , can enjoy the experience. \\'hat's needed, of course, is more support for Scouting. Many potential Cubs and Scouts cannot participate because there isn't a pack or troop active in their neighborhood to accommodate them. It takes volunteer leaders as well as money to expand Scouting, and more of both are needed. To help, contact your Boy Scout, Chickasaw Council office. It is listed in the white pages under Boy Scouts of America. Won't you help Scouting? Won 't · you help somebody be somebody?

Program Planning Time What makes boys want to join one unit while other units are struggling to survive? Experienced Scouters may give several reasons, but they all agree that one of their main reasons is Rood prof{ramming Good programming doesn't just happen. Good programming begins with good ' planning, and , will have full participation by Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, and Scouts and the enthusiastic support of parents. Now that the Scout Summer Camping season and the Cub Scout' Summer Program activities are nearing their completion , unit leaders should be looking ahead to the 1978-79 program year. Unit leaders and their com~ittees should plan activities for the next twelve months; activities that will be fun . educational. and foster the Scouting ideals of CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, CITIZENSHIP, TRAINING AND PHYSICAL FITNESS.

Time Continued From Page One . homework and follow a proven method. The first step is attending your district' s CONCLAVE. It is advisable to have the unit leader, assistants, a nd committeemen attend to hear a preview of district, council, and national activities.· District Planning Calendars, 1979-80 Program Helps, Program Planning Charts and Unit Leader Program notebooks will be distributed. The second step is your unit's a nnual planning conference. The planning conference begins with a review of past programs and activities to decide which ones, if a ny, should be repeated. Suggestions for other activities should he listed. Then with the aid of your 1979-80 Program Helps, a , p r ogram theme or central activity should be selected for each month. (Remember that special programming support materials and articles in Boys' Life are coordinated with the program helps). Next, each month's program should be listed on the Troop Planning worksheet or the Pack Program Planning Chart. Packs and Troops should schedule joint activities at least twiee during the year to promote the orderly transition ofWebelos Scouts into Scout Troops. Holidays, school activities, district-council events, and leadership training opportunities should be considered to avoid conflicts. Don't forget to schedule your annual Roll Call and Charter Review meetings-which a re necessary for your unit to be recognized an 'Honor Unit.' Since advancements in rank should be an outgrowth of your programmed activities, be sure to include plenty of opportunities. · Tre third step is to " Pass the word" to the parents and solicit their support. Don't keep your activities a secret. Troops should h old a parents night early in the program year. Packs may hold a parents night, or include a special presentation at their September Pack Meeting. lJse this opportunity to outline the role that parents have in the Scouting movement and in the development of ch aracter and citizenship of their sons. A successful Scouting program requires advance, planning, sharing of responsibilities, and good commi.mica· tion, and results in a fun-filled, exciting adventure in Scouting for all Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, and Scouts.

'v\Te started the year with good den meetings, roundtables, reregistrations of units, sustaining m emberships, and new units. We also had some boys to participate in the Firestone Encampment, and Webelos Encampment. The North Central District had more units to take part in the 1979 Scout Show than we did in 1978. We sold more Scout Show tickets (1,300) than we did last year. Our camporee was under the leadership of Vern all Smith and .Toe Poindexter. ft was one of the best we've ever had. We ended our first half of the year on .Tuly 4 with a big bang-. The North Central District in conjunction with the South Central District put on one of the finest, in the city , Scout.Tamboree that a lot of us have ever seen. Thanks to Congressman Harold Ford. We asked our leaders and Scouts to come and participate in the -Tamboree, and they did in full strength. I would like to personally mention each unit leader by name, but our column is too small, you know who I'm speaking of, so thank you again. We also like to recognize Pack 186, Lucille Hall, Clarence Farwell,Mathew Davis, Hillie Pride, Case! ,Jones, Betty Cash and Dianne ,Johnson for winning first place trophy for best booth display. Troop 95, Memphis Downtown Kiwanis Club, won first place for the best campsite. We still have the second half of a year to go. Starting in August we'll be having School Night for Scouting. We are asking each unit to work the School closest to your unit, for example: Pack and Troop 186 need to work two schools · Guthrie School and New Chicago Park School. You will need to recruit three persons to handle each school and you will need a total of six (6) persons in all for both schools. · Example: Pack 140 will handle Larose along with Pack 186, each unit needs to recruit three (3) persons each. Your unit this year will handle all of the recruitment in the school. We will have a training for Schoo! Night on August 22, 1979 at lst Baptist Church-Lauderdale at 7:00 p.m. You will also pick up your School Night package at this meeting.

"I've yet to come across a young man I was about to sentence whose pre-sentence report revealed a Scouting background ... Scouts don't go in that direction."' This observation, by ,Justice Ivan Warner of the New York State Supreme Court, tells a big story, but only part of it. Another part is told by Representative Clarence .J. Brown of Ohio, whose s urvey of the 96th Congress showed that 326 of its members, or 60.9 percent, participated as Scouts or volunteer leaders or both. To complete the picture, there is a long list of former Scouts or Scout leaders who became " somebody." Somebody like Presidents Kennedy, Ford, and Carter; like superstars of professional sports and the entertainment world; like leaders in every walk of life. This doesn't mean that those associated with Scouting always succeed; or that Scouting by itself pr-events crime. What it does mean is that Scouting is goaloriented and stresses character - and is exerting a positive force on the three million kids in the United States growing up as Scouts right now. Sounds like a lot of kids? Not when you also consider that three out of four boys, ages seven through 18, are not Scouts when they could be, should be, and · many of them want to be. !'\ot when it costs so little to bring Scouting to a boy in America. Not when Scouting provides special programs for mentally or physically handicapped boys so they, too, can enjoy the experience. \\'hat's needed, of course, is more support for Scouting. Many potential Cubs and Scouts cannot participate because there isn't a pack or troop active in their neighborhood to accommodate them. It takes volunteer leaders as well as money to expand Scouting, and more of both are needed. To help, contact your Boy Scout, Chickasaw Council office. It is listed in the white pages under Boy Scouts of America. Won't you help Scouting? Won 't · you help somebody be somebody?
