Ilona Koreh — Scouts think the kids themselves are basically the same — but I’m sure everyone agrees that their environment is more stressful and the pressures they live with are much greater than what we had to contend with. For this reason, I believe that there is an even greater need for the sup­port and stability scouting has to offer. However, I feel that if we are truly to serve our youth, we must be very open to the kind of world they live in and their changing needs. We can­not rigidly believe that our ex­periences and methods of scouting will be understood by succeeding generations. That would be simply laziness on our part. We need to use great im­agination to convey the spirit of scouting to our younger scouts. As long as our basic goals and ideals remain intact, we should use whatever methods we can . to reach them. This is the challenge of Hungarian and all ethnic scouting if we are to continue to remain in existence — to strike that very delicate balance be­tween adapting to the changing environment while stubbornly maintaining the basic character and requirements of our organizations. Not an easy task. But again, I kaow this is not im­possible — it’s been done before. After World War II, the leaders of Hungarian and other “exiled” scouting had enough vision to adapt their programs to a very drastically changed environment, without jeopardiz­ing the character of their organizations. The odds they faced were incredible as they emigrated to the various corners of the world. But they were successful in revitalizing their organizations, and we honor them for meeting this im­possible challenge. They are an inspiration for this next genera­tion of leaders whose challenge is to face the future with equal vision and imagination, to be equally resilient, to adapt to a changing world without losing ourselves in the process — in order to serve a youth who, to­day more than ever, has a need for the ideals and support only scouting can give. Continued from page 13, column 5 Continued from page 13, column 4 Columbus, Ohio The 1950s were the "golden years” of Hungarian life in Columbus. They were the Fri­day night fish fries at the Columbus Verhovay Club, dramatic presentations in Hungarian, picnics, and dances. John remembers a lot of anecdotes about these events in which he played an active role. Remember the very first na­tional Verhovay Bowling Tourn­ament held in Columbus in 1952? John does. That was the ninth annual tournament. John was one of the bowlers, just as he was in 1962 when the second national tournament (the 19th annual) was also held here. And, even in 1984, when the 41st annual national bowl­ing tournament was held in Columbus, he was busy behind the bar, serving up drinks to szomjas Magyarok. The Columbus Verhovay/ William Penn Association has been fortunate, over the years, to have members like John Gaál — with dedication, talent, and skill. But, let’s take this time to thank John for his tireless contributions to the Magyar élet in Columbus. Köszönöm, János, a segítségnek. At our March meeting, the door prize winners were Rose Finta and Henrietta Kovách. At our June meeting, winners were Irene Voss and Frank Péterfy. Remember, you can’t win unless you attend. Upcoming regular meetings of the Columbus branch will be held Wednesday September 11 and December 11,1985 at 8 P.M. at Leonardo’s, 1374 Parsons Avenue, corner of Frebis. For food, fun, fellowship, and refreshments, plan on joining us. Try it. You’ll like it.
