1st Special Operations Command's
^ Gabriel Area.
Members of the 5th Special
Forces Group taught the cadets
how to rappel from a 60-foot tower
by using ropes attached to a Swiss
seat.
The Swiss seas is made of a short
length of rope that passes under
both thighs and diagonally across
the body forming a harness. Cadets
positioned on the top and bottom of
I the rappel rope could control the
rappellers rate of descent by apply

non-profit volunteer organization.
CAP cadets are offered many
diverse learning opportunities.
They are trained in search and
rescue operations, emergency ser
vices, aerospace technology, com
munications and basic military
) skills.
For adult members, CAP offers
challenging work and the satisfac

about air and flight navigation,
public affairs, first aid and moral
leadership. The training program
readies the seniors for their role in

through CAP that can help him in
^ the Air Force. A cadet 2nd Lt. can
enter the Air Force as an E-2; cadet
Capt. as an E-3; and a cadet Col. as
an E-4.
CAP members enjoy travel, ad

tionally and internationally. Every
year cadets compete for a chance to
visit a foreign country, with their
adult escorts, through the Interna

lightning caused railroad caution and stop lights to go on the blink, mak

Cape Fear Scouts
Gain In Service
Over the past three years the
Cape Fear Council has
distinguyished itself as one of the
best Boy Scout Councils in
America.
Membership has consistently in
creased and today the Cape Fear
Council serves approximately 25%
more young people than it did at
this time three years ago.
The council has won numerous
awards for membership growth.
Growing in numbers is only as
good as the quality that goes hand
in hand with it. The Cape Fear
Council is also nationally recogniz
ed as one of the best program
delivery councils in existence. A
few examples of new programs
that have been added are: The
Fagle Scout Banquet, Cub Scout
Day Camp, a Summer Camping
Program, a High Adventure Pro
gram, Handicapped Program,
Webelos Father/Son Programs,
Train the Trainer, Scout-O-Rama
and the council's own
creation... The Single Parent Fami
ly Weekend.
There has been substantial in
crease in the numbers of young
people and adults that participate
in the various programs and in
1?83 the Cape Fear Council was
the only council in the
Southeastern United States asked
to do a pilot program called Pro
ject COPE (Challenging Outdoor
Physical Encounter).
The COPE Project is highly ac
claimed as one of the best pro
grams in existence for teenage
boys. It has been widely used in
drug prevention and rehabilitation
programs throughout the country.
The Cape Fear Council was
selected by the national organiza
tion to handle (his very important
puoi project because of its reputa
tion of accomplishment and the
delivery of a quality program to an
expanding youth membership.
Scouting magazine will pay a
special tribute to the Cape Fear
Council this fall when it will run a
story on the Council's Single
Parent Family Weekend. This arti
cle will emphasize the progress that
is possible when United Way
Agencies combine their efforts to
address specific social needs within
the community.
The Cape Fear Council has also
won national recognition for its
public relations program. Bumper
stickers, billboards, quality annual
reports, as well as other printed
materials such as tabloids,
newspaper stories, advertisements,
TV programs, etc., have been
established, pioneered and effec
tively carried out in the Cape Fear
Council. The national Public Rela
tions Director is often in touch
with the Cape Fear Council to
secure ideas and copies of
materials. Our recent tabloid will
be used nationally by the Boy
Scout Public relations Department
as an example for other councils to
follow.
The Cape Fear Council is proud
of its growth in quantity and quali
ty which is extended to and par
ticipated in by young people
throughout the Council from every
racial, social, ethnic, religious,
cultural and geographic
background. The Council is
governed by a volunteer executive
board made of a cross section of
the area's social, civic, communi
ty, and industrial leaders, it is ad
ministered by a small staff of pro
fessionals and clericals that are
headquartered in Wilmington,
North Carolina.
