There are also speeches Gerald Ford discussing the need for cooperation with the YMCA and similar organizations in order to better train and benefit the youth of America.

Editor: Romy Longwell Western Los Angeles County Council August 16, 2006 16525 Sherman Way, #C‐8 Van Nuys, CA 91406 (818) 933‐0103 Rlongwell@bsa‐la.org Scouting Brings Cross­Cultural Youth Experiences to the San Fernando Valley By David I. Karp What is the likelihood of a summer day camp program in the San Fernando Valley with participants in the same place at the same time from such diverse groups as Spanish­speaking Hispanic youth and religiously observant Jewish youth? Such a cross­cultural youth experience actually occurred in the Eastern San Fernando Valley in July 2006. This marvel was a part of the local programming of the Western Los Angeles County Council of the Boy Scouts of America. This Scout Council produces six week long Cub Scout Day Camps throughout Northern and Western Los Angeles County. Each provides the opportunity for the youth of diverse religious, ethnic and cultural groups to come together. In July in the East Valley, boys attended Cub Scout Day Camp from both the religious Jewish community of Valley Village and from the Spanish speaking Hispanic community of Pacoima and surrounding areas. These boys might never have crossed paths but for the Scouting program that put them together. Their backgrounds and cultures are worlds apart, yet they have Scouting in com­ mon: The religious Jewish boys are affiliated with the traditional Cub Scouting program, adjusted to accommodate the religious practices of Orthodox Judaism. The Hispanic youth are members of a new national Soccer & Scouting program recently launched locally by the Scout Council.

  • 100 Facts About Scouting
    100 Facts About Scouting 1. Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, is an Eagle Scout. When he said, “The Eagle has landed,” he wasn’t kidding. In 1969, Armstrong became the first Eagle Scout to be portrayed on a U.S. postage stamp - called “The Man on the Moon.” 2. The original Invention merit badge (1911-1918) required the candidate to obtain a patent. 3. In 1911, 18-year-old Scout, Joseph Lane started Boys’ Life magazine, which goes to 1.1 million Scouts each month. A year later, the Boy Scouts of America bought the magazine for $6,100 - about $1 per subscriber. 4. James E. West was the BSA’s first Chief Scout Executive. When he took the position in 1911, he agreed to serve six months. At his retirement in 1943, he was given the title of Chief Scout. 5. The BSA is the second-largest Scouting organization in the world. The largest is in Indonesia. 6. One of Scouting’s most popular traditions, patch trading, has bloomed into a full-fledged hobby. Some rare patches are worth thousands of dollars. 7. For all but two years from 1925 to 1976, illustrator Norman Rockwell illustrated the annual Brown & Bigelow Boy Scout calendar for free. 8. Former Congressmen Alan Simpson and Norman Mineta served together from the mid-1970s to the late 1990s. They met as Boy Scouts during World War II, when Simpson’s troop from Cody, Wyoming, visited the internment camp where Mineta and his Japanese immigrant parents were being held. The two became - and have remained - close friends and political allies.
