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.
