The eight members of the Board are all active farmers, who serve without compensation. They meet at least once each month in Trenton with the Secretary of Agriculture and often with other officials of the Department. During the 1956-57 fiscal year, 18 meetings of the Board were held. Terms of Board members are staggered and two new members are appointed each year. They are chosen by official delegates to the annual State Agricultural Convention for recommendation to the Governor for appointment. The law provides for 84 official delegates, who represent the county boards of agriculture, Pomona granges, and State breed and commodity organizations.

Be clean in my outdoor manners, Be careful with fire, Be considerate ill the outdoors, and Be conservation minded. -The Outdoor Code, The Boy Scout Handbook, 1993 Edition, Page 55 The Outdoor Code is perhaps the most well-known and shortest statement of BSA outdoor policy. It can be expanded into six points that cover how your unit can have a 'low-impact' on your weekend car camping and backpacking outings: Pretrip Plans Wear Scout uniforms or other clothes that will blend into the surroundings. When picking camping equipment, such as tents, try to abide by the same rule. Pack food in containers that you'll carry home at the end of a trip. Take along (and use) trash bags. Plan to have 12 or fewer people staying in an individual campsite. Pick areas that are suited to the type of activity that you are planning. Using Trails Stay on the trail. Don't cut across switchbacks. Campsites Choose sites free of fragile plants. Camp out of sight of trails, streams, and lakes. Don't dig trenches around your tents or make any other unneeded holes. Fires Build fires only where appropriate and allowed. Try to get by with just propane stoves. Use existing fire rings instead of making new ones. Bring your own wood supply with you whenever possible. Open gathering may be prohibited. If you gather firewood, make sure you only burn small wood gathered from the ground.

As we reflect on the year 2013, it humbles us to consider the remarkable opportunity extended to us—the honor of serving as your national chief and vice chief. The friendships forged and memories made this past year will remain with us throughout our lives. For this, we are truly grateful. Memories of 2013 ought to inspire great pride in the hearts of all Arrowmen. Together, we were able to meet our own challenge and leave a lasting legacy as we ushered in a new era in Scouting. The 2013 National Jamboree was a celebration of the second century of Scouting at our new home, The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve. The Order of the Arrow was an integral part of that homecoming.
