MANPOWER
FOCUSES ON
BOYPOWER
Continuing emphasis on improv-
ing the three programs of the
Boy Scouts of America and on
reaching the goals of BOYPOWER
'76 dominated the National Coun-
cil's 63rd Annual Meeting in Minne-
apolis, May 23-25.
Nearly 3,000 delegates at the
annual business meeting approved
several resolutions designed to
strengthen and extend the appeal of
our program to boys and young
men and women. Earlier, at ac-
countability sessions and a special
luncheon, district and council
Scouters considered progress to
date and the road ahead for BOY-
POWER '76, the eight-year effort
aimed at enrolling a representative
one-third of all American boys in
even better programs by the na-
tion's 200th birthday in 1976.
A report on the BOYPOWER
campaign, which is now at the half-
way mark, also was a feature of the
business meeting. It was given by
Robert W. Reneker, vice-president
of the Boy Scouts of America, who
later the same day was elected to
succeed Norton Clapp as president
of the BSA.
Delegates approved resolutions
urging the national Executive
Board to:
• Encourage the extension of out-
door programs, sports and compe-
tition in Cub Scouting on the dis-
trict, council and national levels.
• Ask each council to appoint a
Boys' Life chairman to promote
reading of the magazine by all Cub
Scouts and Scouts.
• Strongly encourage wearing
Scouting's uniforms "to identify
ourselves openly with some beliefs
to which we are all committed; to
give strength and support to each
other as we stand together in a
worldwide brotherhood . .
• Ask councils to cooperate with
schools in their career education
programs.
• Urge councils to conduct special
activities and events built around
national programs during each
year of our nation's bicentennial
era.
• Reaffirm the requirements that
boys and adults in the Boy Scouts
of America must pledge allegiance
to the flag and salute it on appro-
priate occasions.
