PREVIEW
Sea Exploring has been with us for
50 years, making it the oldest version
of Exploring around. Old as it is,
there's nothing crusty or tired about it.
Sea Explorers are deep-bound in
sea lore, hold tight to their traditions
and feel that their version of Exploring
is the best. Not long ago they shed one
barnacle of custom—and good rid-
dance. Girls, once taboo, are now full-
fledged members, as you see on our
cover.
Brian Payne, our Magazine Divi-
sion's new photo editor, snapped the
picture. Freelancer Robert Gray did
the story: "The Flying Toads." It's on
page 14.
No one on our staff knows more
about the inner cities and ghettos than
Executive Editor Dick Pryce. It's a
rough beat, but he likes it. His story,
"Exploring Can Work in the Barrios,"
tells how one gun-and-knife gang
changed its ways by getting into Ex-
ploring—with a great boost from men
who care about them. It's on page 28.
July 4, 1976 is the 200th year of the
signing of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. To mark this day in man's
quest for liberty, the BSA, beginning
this September, is planning a four-
year celebration to awaken pride in
our country's heritage.
We think that our boys will get a lot
out of it and come to appreciate what
so many of us take for granted. A pre-
view of what's in store is in "Bicenten-
nial USA" on page 24.
When your boy goes off to summer
camp, you probably wonder just how
safe he is and how competent the
young men who serve as camp staff
happen to be. They're fair questions,
and you'll find the answers in Mac
Gardner's article "Summer Camps
Just Don't Happen"—page 40.
Beginning on the next page we have
an eight page annual report, a look at
what you have helped make happen
during the past year in Scouting. It's a
brief thank-you for what you have
done, with hopes that next year will
be even brighter.
Our "Family Quiz" continues to be
one of our most popular features.
This month it's based on a new flag
book produced by the Boy Scouts of
America—one that we think will be a
most useful addition to your unit's
store of books.
