  • Iowa State Capitol VISITOR GUIDE Preface
    Iowa State Capitol VISITOR GUIDE PREFACE In 1969, State legislators called for the preparation of a booklet for distribution to State Capitol visitors to call attention to the beauties of the Iowa State Capitol Building, stating that “the citizens of the State of Iowa can point with justifiable pride to the magnificence of the architectural structure of their Capitol Building” and that “the history of the building is an important facet of the heritage and development of the State.” Following this tradition of showcasing the State Capitol building, the Legislative Services Agency, on behalf of the Iowa General Assembly, has created this revised Iowa State Capitol Visitor Guide devoted to presenting the building in a pictorial format to the public as one of the State’s most recognizable symbols and treasured landmarks. The book is intended to serve as a guided tour of the building and the surrounding grounds and monuments, as a reference guide, and as a lasting keepsake of a memorable visit to the Iowa State Capitol. Proceeds from the sale of the book, as with all Capitol Gift Shop merchandise, are used to maintain and expand the Gift Shop’s selection of State Capitol and Iowa-themed items and to support educational outreach activities conducted by the Capitol Tour Guides. Book layout and design assistance was provided by Heuss Printing in Ames, Iowa. Photographs were furnished by Gary Hoard Photography in Madrid, Iowa. The General Assembly Seal was designed by Steve Pyle of Pyle and Associates, Des Moines, Iowa. March 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • Troop-O-Ree at Cabrillo Beach Youth Center by Heath Row, Assistant Scoutmaster, Troop 927
    Adventure Report: Troop-O-Ree at Cabrillo Beach Youth Center By Heath Row, Assistant Scoutmaster, Troop 927 In mid-September, about 20 Scouts from Troop 927 (Westchester, Metropolitan District) went to Cabrillo Beach Youth Center for the unit’s annual Troop-O-Ree in preparation for the district Camporee in mid-October. Located in San Pedro, minutes from Cabrillo Beach, the youth center was established in 1946 and now features an Olympic-size swimming pool, campgrounds, and the 25,000-square-foot Spielberg Center, which houses a food service center, craft center, outdoor amphitheater, and Scout Shop. The Troop 927 Scouts—including Kevin Griffin, a newly registered adult member who recently earned his Eagle Award—arrived mid-morning Saturday, in time for waterfront orientation and the swim test in the pool. Afterward, the troop and its patrols—led by Senior Patrol Leader Jonah Hiraoka—were free to set up camp (pictured below) before participating in the day’s activities. Those included swimming in the pool; canoeing, kayaking, and row boating on the waterfront; and crafts in the craft center, which is outfitted with an impressive selection of leatherwork tools. The kayaks were extremely popular, and this assistant Scoutmaster enjoyed some quiet time in a canoe. Unfortunately, the waterfront was closed for part of the afternoon because of wind. That made for one busy pool! Despite the usually quiet fall weekend, the camp was absolutely packed, populated by at least two Girl Scout units and a couple additional Scouts BSA troops, including a Scout Me In unit. The large number of campers resulted in limited access to watercraft, which encouraged Scouts to share and be mindful of other Scouts waiting for their turn to hit the water.

    News Release NAVY ADMIRAL MICHELLE HOWARD TO RECEIVE LEADERSHIP AWARD AT INAUGURAL FREEDOM OF THE SEAS AWARDS GALA SAN PEDRO, Calif., Aug. 06, 2021 – The National Museum of the Surface Navy at the Battleship IOWA, the museum for America’s Surface Navy located aboard the historic Battleship USS Iowa Museum, today announced retired Navy Admiral Michelle Howard will receive the VADM Samuel L. Gravely, Jr. Leadership Award at the inaugural Freedom of the Seas Awards Gala on October 23, 2021. The award recognizes leaders who exemplify the trailblazing, courageous service of the late U.S. Surface Navy Vice Admiral.

Admiral Howard was the first African American to achieve two- and three-star rank and became the highest-ranking African American and woman in Navy history when she was promoted to Admiral and appointed Vice Chief of Naval Operations in 2014. She also became the first female four- star admiral to command operational forces when she assumed command of United States Naval Forces Europe and Naval Forces Africa. “We are proud to name Admiral Howard the first recipient of the Freedom of the Seas VADM Samuel L. Gravely, Jr. Leadership Award and look forward to the honor of presenting the award to her at our inaugural awards gala,” explained retired Navy Rear Admiral Mike Shatynski, Chairman of the Board of the National Museum of the Surface Navy.
