Douglas E. Johnson, Ocean County Council president, stated emphatically that the legal corporate name of the Boy Scouts of America bad not changed and that the misunderstanding arose over the BSA's adoption of a new comunica-tive symbol using the words which has been mistaken as the new name of the 67-year-old Boy Scouts of America. The official names of the local councils will continue to be Ocean County Council, Boy ScouUPof America, and Monmouth Council, Boy Scouts of America. The councils will gradually incorporate the new symbol on printed material, signs, and other places where a strong, recognizable Identification is required. The BSA's new bright red and white symbol includes a contemporary version of the traditional BSA fleur-de-lis, plus the new communicative name, ScoutingUSA.

Together, these elements more appropriately reflect the current broadened scope of the Boy Scouts of America. USE OF THE Scouting USA symbol began last summer, but full implementation is expected to take several years, according to Lester H. Grubman, Monmouth Council president. traditional Fleur-de-lis of Scouting will continue in a modernized form, Grubman explained, but badges and insignia denoting advancement and office will not be changed. Also not changing will be the three symbols for the Cub Scout, Scout and Explorer phases of the total BSA program.

The "new look" for ScoutingUSA will help clear up confusion related to the youth and adult leaders Scouting is committed to serve, according to the findings of a 5 year study. Grubman explained Scouting serves young men and women as well as boys, and that the word "boy" was dropped from the Scout phase of the program several years ago. This was not because of any pressure from minorities or women's groups. Surveys showed that the boys themselves did not like to be called boys. SCOUTINGISA was selected as the BSA's communicative name because women are now serving as volunteers and professionals and have full membership in the Exploring program.

Also, there has been a need to identify Scouting with the United States of America because the organization does not serve youth in South America, Central America and Canada. The legal corporate name, Boy Scouts of America, which was established by a Charter from Congress In 1916 (6 years after Scouting's founding in this country), will still be used along with the new ScoutingUSA symbol. Miss Catharine Davis, executive director of Ocean County Girl Scout Council, said Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. has released an official statement on the issue. THE KEY STATEMENT that has been made by Girl Scout headquarters in New York to all such inquiries from media and the public is that "Use of the generic term 'Scouting' without identifying the specific organization concerned is confusing and misleading." In explanation of this statement, it has been pointed out that Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.

are separate organizations. Each of the organizations frequently uses the term "Boy Scouting" or "Girl Scouting' to refer to its individual, and individual 99 199 Reg $29.99 St 99 77 4 ZENITH 19" diagonal SOLID STATE PHILC0 19" diagonal 100 SOLID STATE ODYSSEY 300 by MAGNAVOX HOME VIDEO GAME With 3 Action-Packed Games ZENITH 19" diagonal 100 SOLID STATE RCA 12" diagonal DELUXE SOLID STATE PORTABLE COLOR TV PHILCO COMPAQ PORTABLE SOUD STATE TV PORTABLE COLOR TV DELUXE PORTABLE TV DELUXE PORTABLE TV I PORTABLE TV LSLfX GENERAL ELECTRIC AUTOMATIC FILTER-FLO WASHER DELUXE 10.1 cm. ft.
