D. 't forget February's
Scout Sunday/Sabbath observances
Thousands of packs, troops, and posts
will assemble next month on Scout Sun-
day (February 4) or Sabbath (February
10) during Scouting's anniversary week.
Youth members and leaders gather in
their churches, temples or synagogues, or
other places of worship to observe the
BSA's birthday. But it's also a chance for
the religious institution's leadership to
note the service of both adults and youth
to God, community, and family.
Pack 156 and Troop 157, chartered to
the First Presbyterian Church of Wash-
ington, N.J., are two units that have es-
tablished a Scout Sunday tradition. Not
only do the brother units attend services
together, but as Assistant Scoutmaster
Gene Cioffi boasts, "We run the entire
service, and have done so since 1984."
The uniformed Cub Scouts and Boy
Scouts enter and sit together in the
church, are recognized by the pastor, and
handle various parts of worship, even
greeting the congregation after the ser-
vice.
"With the minister's advice we estab-
lish a theme for the service," says Cioffi.
"All parts of the worship relate to that
theme. Our bugler may play for the pro-
January-February 1990 Scouting
cessional; other youth members might
deliver the thought-for-the day or junior
sermon, present the gifts, or play music.
Of course, we all join in the hymns. All of
this reflects the theme."
The units also have used Scout Sunday
to acknowledge their Eagle Scouts or re-
cipients of other Scouting honors like the
Silver Beaver.
This custom of First Presbyterian's
Scouting family might easily be imitated
throughout the country. Often religious
emblems are presented to Cub Scouts,
Boy Scouts, or Scouters during these ob-
servances. Religious leaders usually wel-
come the chance to recognize their youth
programs. And Scouting benefits by
showing off what it does to enhance the
spiritual growth.
Korea hosts 1991
World Scout Jamboree
"Many Lands, One World," is the theme
of the XVII World Scout Jamboree, to be
held in Korea, August 8-16, 1991.
The jamboree site will be Mount Sorak
National Park, a mountainous area about
130 miles northeast of Korea's capital city,
Seoul. This "Land of the Morning Calm"
offers diverse landscapes from rugged
backwoods with crags and peaks to
breathtaking valleys sparkling with wa-
terfalls. All this overlooks the coast of
Korea's East Sea. Aquatic activities will
take place at Bongpo Beach and Youn-
grany Lake.
Some of the jamboree's special attrac-
tions include sumo wrestling and visits to
ancient Korean temples. All participants
must travel together as part of one of the
tours. Scouts will tour for about 8-10 days
before the jamboree.
The cost for BSA participants will be
approximately $3,500, depending on the
tour cost, and will include the jamboree
participation fee, meals, lodging, troop
and patrol equipment, insurance, and
prejamboree training. Travel to a depar-
ture city is not included.
Qualifications are:
• Be a registered Boy Scout at least 13
years of age and First Class rank by Jan-
uary 1, 1991, but not have reached his
18th birthday by that date.
