The general theme, "Trailblazers, Stargazers," focuses on people who do new things, go new places, experiment, explore, and create. The guide provides activities, crafts, and lists of books and films on 10 aspects of the theme: general overview activities, exploration by sea, exploration by land, inventors, space exploration, scientists, artists, authors and poets, musicians, and exploration by air. An extensive bibliography and a filmography are also provided, as well as information on publicity, bulletin board ideas and patterns, and clip art for publicity.
