"The Rotary Club came up with the idea of supporting the scouts by supplying the transpor- tation. "The Venturers presented a 162-slide documentary for the Rotary Club which impressed them quite a bit," says Smith.

I think what it's doing is heightening the program within the community," says Smith. The Rotary Club is the only cornporate sponsor so far.
