BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA |
The Scout Service Corps, composed of a different group of 130 boys and 13 leaders each week, demonstrates scouting skills in an open-air pavilion. In canopied booths Scouts and Explorers put on exhibitions of knot-tying, map and compass reading and fire making - and invite onlookers to try their hand. Within a 300-seat Council Ring, visiting scout units join the Service Corps in various special shows developing the pavilion's theme "The Wonderful World of Scouting." Programs include seamanship, signaling and rope spinning. Members of the Service Corps, wearing distinctive red jackets and Unisphere armbands, are also stationed about the fairgrounds. They form honor guards for distinguished dignitaries and take part in other Fair ceremonies.
| This miniature version of the Unisphere was located on the grounds of the Boy Scout display. Guest books were available for visitors to record their impressions of the Fair. (CD12 #19) |
