PREVIEW
It's not often that we net a Pulitzer prize
winning author for Scouting Magazine.
But we did this month. Her name is Mar-
garet Coit and her subject is George
Washington: The Symbol and the Man.
"This most unlikely of rebels," she tells
us, "had everything to lose in the revolu-
tionary cause: his great fortune, his fame,
his honor and as a 'damn'd rebel', life
itself." Yet, despite a grim roll-call of de-
feats, he gave life to our new country. The
story reminds us that the strength of our
nation is in the character of its people.
The cover and inside art by David Stone
do justice, we think, to our first President
. . . Has Scouting produced leaders for
this country since our Movement began
in 1910? Eminent men by the thousands
have said yes, no question about it.
Scouting touched their lives as young-
sters and made a difference, sparked a
talent, gave them the grit and spirit to
come into their own. Still, there is mount-
ing evidence that we can do a far better
job of leadership training in the near fu-
ture. Dick Pryce of our staff—a man not
easily snowed by appearances—came
bounding back from New Mexico's Phil-
mont Scout Ranch and Explorer Base this
past summer with the story of a new junior
leader training idea in action. He was
mightily impressed as you might guess
from the title of his article: "Miracle on
Maxwell Mesa." Read it and take hope . ..
Scouting has come into the drug scene
with Operation Reach, a youth-to-youth
action project through which young peo-
ple can get their highs without drugs.
Gerald A. Speedy, our director of program
development, tells you about it in his
article titled "Reaching" . . . Beginning
with this month's issue we're taking you
on a tour of Scouting's four superb high
adventure sites, wilderness acres just wait-
ing for Explorers and older Scouts. This
month we're keying in on the Region 7
Canoe Base near Boulder Junction, Wis.
The story—"Canoeing Wisconsin's North-
woods." In succeeding issues, we'll visit
our new Maine-Matagamon National Wil-
derness Base near Patten, Maine; the
Charles L. Sommers Wilderness Canoe
Base, near Ely, Minn.; and Philmont Scout
Ranch and Explorer Base, near Cimarron,
N. Mex.
