Scouts told drugs are deadly game; members encouraged to say 'no'
The organization that has long
taught its members to "Be
Prepared" is about to make sure
they are prepared to meet the
nation's current crisis: drugs
The 5.2-million member Boy
Scouts of America at a press con-
ference has announced a massive
national campaign designed to spur
citizens, young and old. in and out of
Scouting, to "say no" to drugs
Called "Drugs, a Deadly Game,"
the on-going anti-drug abuse cam-
paign is designed as a major
educational effort The Scouts see it
fitting directly into its
Congressional challenge of the last
77 years to develop traits of good
citizenship, solid character, and
personal fitness among youth
"We are seeing kids -only 9. 10, 01
11 years old-playing a deadly game
of Russian roulette with their hear
ts, their livers, and in particular,
with that most marvelous and
delicate organ, their brains ob
served Chief Scout Executive Hen
H. Love "The country is in the
midst of a serious drug epidemic
Taking drugs is not just dangerous,
it is deadly "
Prepared for use not only within
Scouting, but designed to be
available as «ell to schools com-
munity agencies and others. « a
full-color booklet specifically
designed for youth There is a
teacher's guide that presents
suggestions for review and
discussion; a booklet for parents
and Scout leaders that includes in-
formation on recognizing the signs
of drug abuse and where help can
be obtained, a slide presentation
and a video tape and suggestions
for local drug-abuse awareness
rallies featuring local role models
The material is being underwrit-
ten. with support from Coca-Cola
ISA and Champion International
Corp
Bo>s' Life and Scouting
magazines published by the Scouts,
dlso will offer their estimated 10
million readers a copy of the
Drugs: \ Deadl> Game book in
their March April issues In recent
years the magazines have brought
their audiences a variety of articles
on the dangers of alcohol and sub
stance abuse and the magazines are
playing key roles in implementing
the new program
The youth booklets are being
distributed free-of-charge to all of
the Boy Scouts' 4 million youth
members The material will be
made available at cost to non-Scout
groups and individuals
The matter of drug-including
alcohol-abuse is nothing new to the
Scouting organization, however
Por vears alcohol and tut to <
have been branded as enemies in
Scouting literature More recently,
verbiage about drugs had found its
way into the pages ot the
organization's literature
During the 1985 National Scout
Jamboree. First Lady Nancy
Reagan keynoted the closing arena
show asking the 32.000 youth par-
ticipants to "say no Last fall, BSA
officials joined other national youth
.eadeis at a White House meeting
with Presiden Reagan and heard
turn plead for support of anti-drug
measures
The anti drug program also
dovetails with lour "unaccep
tables" which the organization's
top official, Chief Scout Executive
Love, says are having "a
devastating impact on society." On
the list: drug and child abuse,
illiteracy, unemployment. Love
says he wants his organization to do
what it can to eliminate all four.
The Scouts' push will not end with
today's media session As literature
is revised, the message will con
tiuue to be spread throughout
Scouting s literature Kids and
adults will be asked to "say no" to
drugs at every turn Scouts honor
