Explorers In Miniskirts Start of a New Era in Scouting
Girl members join Explorer Post 1 in La Crosse sponsored by WKBH-WKBT marking the first western Wisconsin unit to admit women as full members. The two 16 year old girls Maureen Daley and Jacquelyn Preescl, former Girl Scouts, say the program centers on radio and television, with little camping. Local teens and leaders view the change as a test bed for 35 area Explorer units and a shift away from the traditional outdoor image toward specialized interests for ages 14 to 21.
