nually at the National Law Enfor-
cement Conference by the J. Edgar

Law Enforcement Assistance
Award—A medal, plaque, and $500
scholarship is awarded annually by
the U.S. Secret Service to an out-
standing Explorer instrumental in the
apprehension of a suspect or the
solving of a crime. This award is also
presented at the National Law En-
forcement Conference, scheduled for
July 1983 at Colorado State Universi-
ty in Fort Collins, Colo.
Kemper Foundation Scholarship—
Each year, the James S. Kemper
Foundation selects an active Explorer
and top-ranked graduating high
school senior to receive a full four-
year scholarship worth up to $1-2,000
toward the winner's college educa-
tion. In addition, the winner is guar-
anteed three summers of paid em-
ployment during college at one of the
many Kemper Insurance offices
across the country.
AMA Youth Recognition Plan—
Sponsored by the American Medical
Association, this program recognizes
either individual Explorers or entire
posts for making significant con-
tributions to medical or health pro-
grams or projects. Winners receive
an expense-paid trip and special
recognition at the AMA's national
convention.
Explorer Leadership Award—Each
council may give these awards to
deserving youth leaders in the coun-
cil's Exploring program. From these
local winners, a national winner is
selected to receive a medal at the
annual Explorer Presidents' Associa-
tion (EPA) Congress.
Crime Prevention and Community
Service A wards—Offered for the first
time this year to law enforcement
Explorer posts, these two awards are
intended to recognize the member-
ship of posts which have shown ex-
ceptional examples of service in the
areas of community service and crime
prevention.
In addition to these national
awards programs, several other
awards are also available to Explorers
on a local level.
One of these is the Young Amer-
ican Award, which was formerly
awarded on a national basis, but
which is now handled locally by in-
dividual councils to honor young
people for outstanding achievements
in sports, the arts, government,
religion, etc. Another is the Explorer
Achievement Award, which is avail-
able to any Explorer and is based on
tenure, leadership, and the successful
completion of projects agreed upon
with the post Advisor.
The deadline for all national com-
petition, with the exception of the
Youth Leadership in America Award,
is March 31, 1983. Your local council
office can provide more details and
application forms. H
