DATELINE: 1ISA...
The Scout service corps of the New York World's Fair hoists the official fair flag
on opening day—and everyday. A different corps of 1 30 Explorers, older Boy
Scouts, and leaders are serving each week of the fair in 1964-65.
NATIONAL EXPLORER CONFERENCE
More than a thousand elected
delegates will attend the 2nd Na-
tional Explorer Delegate Conference
at the University of Kansas, August
16-20. This meeting continues a five-
phase cycle of local-national Explorer
programing:
(1) Before the conference, Explorer
cabinets and units will discuss youth's
responsibilities and report their opin-
ions to the conference delegates. (2)
At the conference, delegates will re-
view these opinions and prepare a pro-
gram of action "Youth Measures Up."
(3) Back home, delegates will report
this program to cabinets, units, and
adult groups. Units and cabinets will
plan activities to carry out the pro-
gram. (4) At the 1965 regional Ex-
plorer conferences new delegates will
report on these activities. (5) Before
the 3rd National Explorer Delegate
Conference in 1966, still other dele-
gates will gather new opinions from
cabinets and units to be considered at
the conference.
This cycle gives all Explorer units
and cabinets a chance to voice their
ideas about youth's responsibilities and
what to do about them.
The ideas for discussion this year
come under three catagories as follows:
Youth's responsibilities in the field
of citizenship—understanding and re-
spect of the law; being of service to
others; patriotism and American heri-
tage; religion; safe driving; good
social customs.
Youth's responsibilities in prepara-
tion for the world of tomorrow—friend-
ship with other countries; conserva-
tion of national resources; education
that will prepare youth for future posi-
tions; personal fitness for the future;
exploration into the vocational world.
Youth's responsibilities to Explor-
ing and the Boy Scouts of America-
help increase public understanding of
Exploring; extend Explorer member-
ship to others; assist Boy Scouting
and Cub Scouting; election of good
unit leaders; improvement of unit ac-
tivities; use of the "Ready" program.
CARBON TET
Use of carbontetrachloride in
any way in the Scouting program is
prohibited. Even in small quantities
this poison has proved so deadly that
it must not be used as a cleaning fluid,
fire extinguisher, stamp watermark
detector, or an insect killer.

ROUNDUP FR0NTIER
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA ROUNDUP
The roundup this fall aims
to bring Scouting to more boys in more
units with more sponsors, more lead-
ers, and more community support than
ever before. The Frontier Roundup
name and the "Find Adventure, Join
the Scouts" theme carry on the
Strengthen America's Heritage pro-
gram. The roundup emblem, illus-
trated above, combines 13 white stars
on a blue field, representing the heri-
tage of old frontiers, with a gray atomic
symbol, representing modern frontiers
faced by youth. The red universal
Scout emblem represents the constant
influence of Scouting ideals. Roundup
kits have been sent to all councils giv-
ing details for recommended unit ac-
tivities such as a roll call and uniform
inspection, uniform day, school night
for Scouting, and a get-acquainted-
with-Scouting meeting.
