To do this. Watte Howard, Dis trict Chairman points out, ft is; necessary to provide parent Institu tions and leaders. Greater adult In terest is needed to provide both the sponsors and the leaders. There are at present In Harnett County 17 Troops of Boy Scouts and six Cub packs. The membership in she county is 531 Scouts and 108 Cubs. With more adult leadership this could be greatly Increased. These Scoutmasters and their as sociates. together with the parent institutions, deserve the praise of Os all Howard declares.
