They have at least two representatives in every or- ganization in the county, as The Order of the Arrow. These scouts seem always to have the majority vote on all scouting problems and debates. These scouts also seem to have more leadership than the whole county combined, as shown by the staff at Camp Rotary last year. Over three-fourths of the staff were from l'ort liyron. This included the Program Director, Craft Instructor, two unit leaders, assistant cook, dishwasher, canteen attendant. and bugler.
