He makes It. The 12-year-old Scout from Oastonla, N. C., Is following In the foot steps of Journalistic Immortals such as Baron Paul Julius von Reuter, who stsuied the first news wire service, Reuters, In the mid 1800’s. Mike has started his own news service. Scout News International (SNI). which feeds stories from the world of Scouting to 80 newspapers In the Piedmont Council, North Carolina. Mike formed SNI specifically to supply up-to-date news with a hometown slant fr(»n the 1977 National Scout Jamboree, which Is under way through August 9 at Moraine State Parte, Pa., north of Pittsburgh. Prior to the Jam boree, Mike rounded up a crew of lO Scout correspondents, each of whom will individually produce stories tor two or three papers In his own area. “I decided In April that being a corresDondent at the Jamboree would be my Eagle project,” Mike said. He Is only two merit badges short of Eagle, Scoutlng’s highest rank. In addition to service and merit badge requirements, each candidate for the Eagle award must set up suid carry out a project that demonstrates ability to organize and lead other boys, and is of positive service to Scouting, his church, his school, his community, or his nation. “I chose my correspondents at the pre-Jamboree ‘shake- down,’ which la a training session,” he said. He also wrote letters to the editors of every paper In the Piedmont Council, and visited as many of the editors as he could. All of them gave him the go-ahead on his Scout News In ternational Project. “We’re filing three different stories to each of the papers,” Mike said. “The first went out before the Jamboree, about two weeks ago, telling what was going to happen. The second story is being prepared now and will go out shortly. One of our correspondents is shooting photos that will go along with It.” llie third story will come out after the Jamboeree, and will also include photographs. One of the local newspapers — he didn’t say which one — has volunteered to process the film and print the pictures which will be included with the story. Shortly before leaving for the Jamboree, Mike added a radio station to his news networit. He recorded a story for the statloi^ which aired It NEED A LATE MODEL CAR? 1976 Corvette -T-Top Loaded . i971 Pontiac Bonneville 1968 Corvette Convertible 1976 Corvette — Loaded 1976 Chev.- Van 1976 Ford-Van 1968 Corvette—Original .1978 El Camlno With Camper Cover . 1974 Grand Prlx — This One Is Loaded . 1974 Firebird — Four Speed . 1978 Ford Torino . 1972 Monte Carlo SEE OUR STOCK OF CORVETTES CARL Bai LATE MODEL CARS HWY 74 WEST • PHONE 739-6441 • 739-7335 several times last week. “The station manager said Uiat If smything significant happened at the Jamboree to call him and he’ll air wiotHer story,” Mike said. There will also be a follow-up radio show about the local Scouts’ activities at the Jam boree. “Scouting Is helping me prepare for the future,” Mike said. “I’d like either to be a lawyer, or to work In the communications field as a newspaperman, or with a radio or television news net work. I ttx>ught Scout News International would be a good op portunity to get some experience.” i Scouting runs in his family. His two brothers ] are both attending the Jamboree.
