Tall Corn Area Council Explorers
finish a "Jim Thorpe" event in
their field day at Des Moines.
Iowa Explorers do more than
raise tall corn; they compete in
logrolling — of the nonpolitical
kind — in their field day at the
Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Trap shooting competition
is popular at the Denver
Area Council field day.
Other outdoor sports in
various field days are bait
casting, fly casting, riflery,
and orienteering.

Flinging the fence post is what you might call

This rugged Gaelic sport is a feature of the
St. Louis Area Council Explorer field day where
3,000 young men participate.
