things and we get the same re-
spect as the 50-year-olds who
serve on the national Order of the
Arrow council."
Josh will participate in two
programs at Philmont this sum-
mer: several weeks in June on a
building project and again in Au-
gust at a leadership training
seminar. In between, he would
like to use his free time in July to
visit a newborn niece in Israel.
After completing his year as
national chief, Josh will be one of

four young Scouts on the OA
council.
"At the national level," he says,
"you help local people touch the
lives of every member." Even
with his busy schedule, he tries
to serve as an assistant Scout-
master near Yale University.
When he completes his na-
tional commitments to Scouting,
he wants to return to the local
level. "I want to get back to sit-
ting down and teaching a kid how
to tie a square knot," he says.

Jane Sherman addresses participants on Detroit's first mega mission.

T

sion's success as a commu-
nity-wide trip to Israel
hasn't gone unnoticed by
Jewish federations nationwide.
. Ever since the Jewish Feder-
ation of Metropolitan Detroit and
The Detroit Jewish News brought
more than 1,000 people to Israel
for 10 days in May 1993, other
communities have followed suit.
Beverly Gans in Cleveland
says she used Michigan's Mira-
cle Mission as a model. in fact,

the second day after she was
hired as her city's mega mission
director, Ms. Gans drove to De-
troit to spend a day with Jane
Sherman, noted for spearhead-
ing Michigan's trip.
"Jane was extremely helpful,"
Ms. Gans says. "This is a huge
