They were neat, clean and quiet. No giggling. This was all busi- ness. Their names were Sarah Jen- nings and Megan Gusher, both freshman at Dallas High School, and the reason they were all business is simple...they could have been seeing their own fu- ture. The occasion was an “Explorer Post” meeting arranged with John Heinz therapists, under the direc- tion of group leader Marney Snyder, who explained what ther- apy is, what it does. The program was sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America. Never mind that these were girls at a Boy Scout program. Girls have long been a part of Explorer projects and no one thinks any- thing aboutit. Explorers are young men and women aged 14 through 20 who join posts organized by businesses, industries, profes- sional societies, civic clubs and other community organizations, matching the interests of youths with adult expertise. Explorer Posts can specialize in a variety of subjects, planning programs that offer career choices for the next generation of citizens who look out into a world that is complex and fast-moving. They need help when they wonder, “Am I making the right move?” The John Heinz interest in Post meetings could be very much in their own interest...Explorers pursuing Allied Services types of careers could be a pool of future Heinz employees, with a built-in desire to take part in activities they witnessed first hand at the Institute. Megan Gusher lives on Norton Avenue, the daughter of Michael Gusher, a computer operator at Blue Cross and Sue Gusher an eye specialist at Balester Optical. Sue is pleased Megan is show- ing this interest, and says, “It must be worthwhile, otherwise she wouldn't bother. She loses interest pretty quickly if some- thing doesn’t attract her.” Megan herself says, “Working with people, social work, has always seemed to me a good way to work. I think I'd like some form of rehabilitation.” Megan's older sister, Traci, says, “She’s lucky to have some- thing like this to help her choose.” Sarah Jennings, is from Manor Drive, where she lives with her father, Doug, a technician with Proctor and Gamble, and mother Ann. I think it's a great idea,” Ann says. “They are getting a good idea of what's out there, and it will" make her décision a lot easier.” Ann would like Sarah's younger brother, Doug, 10, to become interested in Explorers, but right now, “It's all Pinewood Derby!” Sarah's reaction at present is, “This is very interesting, but frankly I am still looking around.” Also participating in the ther- apy briefing at the last Explorer meeting were Trish Heimbach and Linda Banos, physical therapists, and Karen Caravaggio, occupa- tional therapist. The Exploring Division of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Boy Scouts of America Council serves 44 high schools throughout Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties. There are nearly 1,600 students participat- ing in the program, and 620 ca- reer/special interest Explorers in 35 Posts. The Exploring Committee is headed by Tom Ward, VP of PG&W and a 12-member committee. Exploring gives young adults throughout Northeastern Penn- sylvania an opportunity to. gain an inside look at a career of their choice. Despite what Punxsutawney Phil said Spring is not here yet!
