moored and open for visitors. Right next
door is Howard Hughes's formidable
Spruce Goose.
During the summer, at least in 1988, as
Don Wilson explained it, week-long
periods would feature traditional Scout
program built around merit badges.
"We know that we can handle just
about every water-related sport subject
there is. But the drawback with summer-
time is that we can't serve as many kids.
We can only feed and house about 150 a
week. If we don't have to 'house' them,
we can run 300 kids a day through here,
feeding in two shifts. So you're talking
about providing program for as many as
1,500 or so youngsters during a week as
opposed to 150.
"So far we haven't touched on the
weekday aspect of Cabrillo Beach," Wil-
son continued. "When the harbor depart-
ment mandated that the camp be open to
'all kids' of the community, we looked for
ways to implement that order.
"We got help from the Amateur Ath-
letic Foundation that had provided some
money to build this place. From profits of
the 1984 L.A. Olympics it also funded
some staff positions at Cabrillo so we
could entice young people to train in var-
ious sports here. Our first attempt at this
is the rowing program headed by Debbie
Nowinski, an Olympic rower herself.
"The AAF bought a fleet of one- and
four-man racing shells. They spent about
$2,500 for the one-man and close to
$7,000 each for the four-man models.
They also pay Debbie's salary. She car-
ries on a weekday training program that's
made excellent progress. But it's only a
beginning. We hope to branch out to
other sports."
"One of the best parts of the AAF's
program that I help with," Nowinski
said, "is that it's available to local kids for
free. We've only been at this for five
weeks and already have signed up 134
rowers. Some work out early, before
breakfast. Others report after school for
practice.
"Rowing is only taught at a very few
places so we make the most of that
$125,000 worth of equipment. But we
not only teach rowing, we teach the kids
to be patient with themselves, to have the
confidence that they can learn to row."
Cabrillo Beach sports center is re-
sponding to some mighty heavy demands
being placed on Scouting by the com-
munity, Scouters, parents, and youth
themselves. And the $4-million center
does it in grand style. Without a doubt the
center is delivering on the Latin motto on
Chuck Hayes's staff T-shirt that reads,
Surgita ad provocationem, "Rise to the
challenge." ■

Scouting for Food (from page 17)
supervisor of this check-in station, waves
at Joyce Johnson and then steps back to
help sort the items turned in. "We sent
out word that we wanted canned food,"
he says, "but we're still receiving many
nonperishable, boxed items, such as ce-
real and crackers, and glass jars of jam,
fruit, or vegetables. We keep these sepa-
rate."
More than 20 million
Americans go hungry at least
a few days each month.
A Scout helper runs up to Whiteley,
hands him a piece of paper with numbers
on it, and dashes back to his post. White-
ley chuckles and explains, "We really
have to hurry sometimes when we get
cars, pickups, and trailers backed up. Not
only do we count everything, but we also
slap a 'Scouting for Food' decal on every
can, bottle, or box.
"We also keep count of which units
take part and what they bring in," he
adds. "We have to call in our local figures
by Monday noon to the National BSA
Office in Irving, Tex."
Putting John Whiteley on this job is
definitely typecasting. He is a major in
the US. Air Force, working as a procure-
ment officer, and serves as vice chairman
of the Chief Seattle Council's Cascade
District. He has also directed two pre-
vious local food drives in the district be-
fore this year's big council project.
The word "big" certainly describes
the council's efforts. More than 300 units
are participating, including about 5,500
young men and women. More than
235,000 food items are gathered, despite
a handicap of wind, rain, and cold tem-
peratures.
As with large activities like this,
"Scouting for Food" requires plenty of
detailed advance planning, plus intensive
work as the key weekend nears. Leading
the Chief Seattle Council committee are
Chairman William W. Christofferson,
former council commissioner, and Vice
Chairman Joseph E. Hunt, former coun-
cil president. Honorary chairmen are
Luke Helms, president of Seafirst Bank,
and Jayson Beatty, Eagle Scout and na-
tional youth representative for the BSA's
Western Region. Don Butler is the profes-
sional staff adviser.
As planning begins, a natural question
is, "Do we really need such a project?"
