PREVIEW. If you think that Cub Scouting
comes to a standstill during the summer
months, you're wrong. In Scout councils
across the country, hundreds of Cub Scout
Day Camps are in full swing. The range of
events is as broad as the program itself,
something Tom MacPherson tells us about
after visiting the Central Florida Council
this past summer. His story, "Cub Scout
Day Camps Go Where the Kids Are" is on
page 28. Our cover photo, by Manny
Rubio, catches a piece of the action.
This February is Scouting's sixty-sixth
birthday month, a time for renewing our
commitment to make our movement
stronger than ever before. One way we can
do this is to sign a copy of the Bicentennial
Declaration — a pledge to help our coun-
try and ourselves — through Scouting.
How this all works is spelled out on page
38.
New Scouters join our ranks every day of
the year, but many of them aren't aware
that the huge Philmont Scout Ranch and
Explorer Base near Cimarron, New Mexico
— over a hundred and thirty thousand
acres of it — belongs to them. This past
summer my family and I visited the Train-
ing Center so that we could see for our-
selves just what it was like. The story is on
page 30.
Since Scouting began, camporees have
been among the most popular events for
Scout troops. One held recently in North-
ern California's Redwood Area Council
was so exciting that a wild and woolly
character just couldn't resist dropping in to
join the crowd. His name: Bigfoot —better
known as the Abominable Snowman.
Writer Lynn Olsen and photographer
Charlie Moore were on the spot for the
goings-on. The story, "Bigfoot Camporee"
is on page 40.
Each year, come January, the Cub Scout
Pinewood Derby draws big crowds at the
pack meetings. So we thought you might
enjoy some tips about building fast racers,
running a smooth event and possibly build-
ing your own raceway. "It's Pinewood
Derby Time!" begins on page 20.
