An Admiral presents an award to an Air Scout. Senior
Scouts appreciate the interest of men of importance.
Senior Scouts will play a prominent part in the
coming 35th Anniversary celebration. The navy
blue of the Sea Scout uniforms, the aviation blue of
the Air Scouts, and the new forest green of the
Explorer Scouts will add color to many a Council
and District event, as Seniors help Council Scouters
stage rallies, dinner meetings and expositions.
Seniors will also undoubtedly want to stage an
Anniversary event of their own, a
Council-wide or District Senior affair
in which all Senior Units can join. This
can be done easily, and the following
suggestions, based on the experience of
many Councils, may help.
February being a month of bad
weather in many sections of the coun-
try is one in which indoor activities
particularly should be stressed, and
there is a great variety of interest to
all Senior Scout groups.
The development of a Senior Scout
activity should involve both the Council
Committees and a good representation
of Senior Scouts themselves. These
young men have reached the stage
where they should be given an oppor-

activities, with the advice and help of
the Council's Camping and Activities

be held to take advantage of indoor facilities which
will accommodate all the Senior Scouts in the Coun-
cil, although there may be some Councils in which
it is impossible to have all Units travel to a common
center. In such a case, it will be possible to develop
the activity on a District basis.
Saturday afternoon and evening provide the best
opportunity for Senior Scouts to get together where
any considerable length of time is involved. The early
afternoon should be devoted to a registration and
assignment of quarters to out-of-town Units which
find it necessary to remain overnight. Sometimes,
time is provided for out-of-town Senior Scouts to
meet the girls whom they will bring as guests to
the evening social affair.
Beginning about the middle of the afternoon, a
series of contests and demonstrations may be set up
in a gymnasium, field house, or other large building
provided for the purpose. Such activities as heaving
a line, ring-buoy throw, model airplane flight, tent
pitching, fire-by-friction or flint and steel, trail and
personal first aid, Emergency Service work, Explorer
field craft, airplane pilot test, drills, inspections, and
many other projects are of interest to all Senior
Scouts, and with a little preparation all can partici-
