Show MAKLH 14, 1V84 WA1FM Bmws Mm Kaysville cmt$ By DONETA GATHERUM HILL AFB - Mention the Boy Scout program to' most people and the response might be the descrip tion of a group of teenage boys hiking in the mountains, camping, attending city council meeting to receive merit badges and achieving the Eagle rank at an impressive Court of Honor. Few people would correlate Hill Air Force Base with the Boy Scout, program. THIS LARGE air base that has been the good neighbor for North Davis County communities for over 40 years is one of the most active Scout supporting agencies in the United States. The largest Cub Scout Pack in the Gateway District is sponsored by HAFB. One of the two Tiger Cub organizations in the Lake Bonneville Council is a was held at located on base. The 1983 Hill Field. This year a Camp-O-AIone of the major district-wid- e scout projects, will be hosted by HAFB. Many adult scout leaders are civilian and military employees assigned to Hill Field. The last four district chairmen in the scout organization had worked at Hill. There are 13 Girl Scout groups on base and one Explorer post. Z) 0 Scout-a-ram- Q I, MARK SCOFIELD, professional scout for the Lake Bonneville Council says that Hill Air Force Base probably sponsors more scouts than any other organization in the entire state. In addition to the youth scouting programs that are offered to children of Airmen stationed on base, Hill Field gives many opportunities to Scout groups who want to visit the Base and camp out. LT. DANIEL G. Worthington is the Scout Projects Officer and Scouting Coordinator for Hill Field. This is an assignment that ties in with other Air Force duties. It is a job that requires many extra hours of volunteer service. , Lt. Worthington, a native of Idaho, is an Eagle Scout. He credits the efforts his Scoutmaster made to help Lt. Worthington with going a long way towards assisting him in choosing to attend college and becoming an Eagle Scout. I owe many things to this one scoutmaster and to the scouting program that channels peer involvement to constructive ends, Lt. Worthington states. ALL AIR FORCE Bases are open for Scout tours and special activities but Hill Air Force Base is probably used more by Scouts than any other base in the country, Lt. Worthington says. This is because of the large number of active Scouts in the area. Hill is used by local scouts and by scouts from all parts of the country. One troop from New York State stayed at the Base camping facilities just recently. , BOY SCOUTS and Cubs are the most frequent visitors but the base is open to Girl Scouts and Campfire groups. Tours can be arranged to accomplish many purposes. Scouts can work towards advancements in citizenship in the nation, aerospace, first aid, camping, outdoor cooking, swimming and aviation. Some tours are just to acquaint the young people with the activities that go on at the Base. LT. WORTHINGTON requires one adult leader to accompany each five boys. Since the Scouts are representing their troop and Hill Air Force Base, Lt. Worthington requires complete cooperation from the young people. They must uphold the Scout oath and Law while they are on the Base. Tours are designed to fit the needs of a group. A tour for Cubs or Brownies might last only one hour. Visits might be made to the control tower or the hanger. A DELUXE tour can go over night. Last week, a scout troop from Sandy arrived on base at 9 a.m. Friday morning. The boys took a tour conducted by Lt. Worthington. They visited the automated warehouse. the aircraft simulator and the air rescue squadron helicopter hanger. After lunch, the Scouts went to the control tower, the spot that governs the largest single runway in the U.S. Air Force and the 6 area. In the evening, the Scouts went swimming at the Base Youth Center. There were other sports activities available for them at this Center. They camped out Friday night. F-1- SATURDAY morning, the Sandy Scouts ate breakfast on Base and returned home about noon. Lt. Worthington says this tour is very reasonably priced. Total cost for this overnight experience would be about $5 per Scout. o o VISIT HAFB 0 Many groups, including this Sandy Boy Scout troop, visit HAFB, seeing the different world that exists there. THE BOYS from Sandy Troop 41 learned much from the tour. They liked taking pictures of the many sections of the Base best of all. Lt. Worthington recommends special outings to Hill Field for those Scouts who have received a certain number of merit badges or who have achieved a certain rank. Honor outings can be very special occasions for those Scouts who deserve a special treat. tours can be arranged using volunteer leaders who work on base. The potential for Scouting at Hill Field is limited only by the number that can be accomodated and by the requirement that all tours be taken during regular week-da- y working hours. This interfers with school in the fall and winter months. THE AIR Force cannot allow Scouts to fly. No activity can interfer with the accomplishment of an Air Force mission. Most Scouts visit the Base on Fridays and Saturdays. At the present time, weekends are booked through the first week in July. ANY SCOUT group wanting to know more about the Hill Air Force Base programs can contact Lt. Worthington at dmg 777-408- 3. Springville. J.
