E X P L O It E II CITIZENSHIP 1 E 1> I C A T I O N
As an Explorer Citizen:
1. I will live the Scout Oath and Law.
2. I will be familiar with the Declaration
of Independence, the Constitution, and
the Bill of Rights of the United States of
America.
3. I will respect and obey the law in order
to have security and freedom.
4. I will share the responsibility of my
home, school, church, neighborhood,
and community, and when legally of
age, I will register and vote in all elec-
tions.
5.
6.
I will deal fairly and kindly with my
fellow-citizens of whatever race or
creed, in the spirit of the Scout Law and
America's tradition of equality of op-
portunity.
I will work to preserve our American
heritage of liberty and responsibility.
I acknowledge that the privileges we
enjoy were won by the hard work, and
sacrifices, faith and clear thinking of
our forefathers. I will do all in my
power to pass on a better America to
the next generation.
CITIZENSHIP
THEME FOR FEBRUARY
ANNING
m s your Crew in the Troop or your Post, Ship,
or Squadron polish off their February plans,
we offer them these suggestions. About 994%oo% of
these ideas have been tried out, so we hope they'll
work for your gang, too.
New Dedication
Opportunely for the February Theme, the Na-
tional Explorer Committee announces approval of
a briefer, more forceful version of the Explorer
Citizenship Dedication than the one previously
used. The Committeemen urge that this new version
above be used more frequently and always im-
pressively to bring home to Explorers their present
citizenship obligations.
Scout Week
Explorer Crew or Unit participation in Scout
Week, February 6-12, can be more than a service
to the Local Council and the Scouting Movement.
The secret is for your Explorers to select some
activity typical of their program, either something
they do well or something they are greatly inter-
ested in trying. Then with a bit of showmanship
present this activity to the public. The story and
pictures on pages 22-23 of this issue offer excellent
examples — everyone of them tested.

Pep from BOYS' LIFE
If you're looking for things to pep up your
February program, the February Boy's Life has
these suggestions for Explorers:
Canoeing in the Arctic Ocean, a true adventure
of present-day amateur explorers. Pedro's Can-
tankerous Cousins, a Philmont Ranch burro trip.
Wilderness Survival, what to do — or not to do —
to beat the wilderness. Assignment — Find Lost
Lake, Florida Explorers help the state park depart-
ment. The Mile Run, How To Run It by Gil Dodds.
Here's Exploring, success stories from around the
country.
The how to make items include a dog harness,
compass fob, two-burner stove, good luck house
numbers, new clocks for old, table decorations,
coffee can signaling device.
Blue Ribbon
To find variety for your February schedule or to
fill a vacant spot in it, glance over the Blue Ribbon
Events on page 28. If you like them, send in one of
your own. Your own Crew or Unit will be pleased
over the publicity they get, and Explorers and
leaders all over the country will appreciate your
help.
Roundtable
Is your Local Council or District holding Ex-
plorer Leaders' Roundtables regularly? Are Senior
Crew Leaders, Crew Leaders, and other elected
leaders invited to attend with the Advisor, his
Assistant, and Unit Committeemen? If not, ask your
Scout Executive whether Roundtables can't be
started and held for all Explorer Leaders, adult
and young men.
All Scout Executives have received copies of
Explorer Roundtable Ideas, February-June 1952,
which contain details of an Agenda for a monthly
Roundtable.
