Short, a Field Representative of the National Boy Scout Council, to assist them in organizing and establishing a charter for a Waterloo Boy Scout Council. Prominent among the men interested in this movement were George W. Wood, George W. Pike, John W. Gwynne, H. G. Northey, C. F. Alstadt, J. W. Rath, W. F. Parrott, E. R. Shoemaker, R. L. Hoxie, John Hansen, Rank Benedict, and Edmond Rausch. Following the organization of the council, Mr. Short was employed as the first Scout Executive in the area. Neighboring cities and towns, seeing the advantages of organized Scouting, soon became interested, and the council rapidly expanded to other communities of northeastern Iowa. Among leaders in these other communities who became active in the movement were Dr. W. A. Rolfh of Waverly (who gave the funding for the Health Lodge in 1953), Walter Voorhees of Cedar Falls, Rev.

For example, a unit that was not contacted until March will not be counted in January or February, but will count in March, if it receives two contacts that month.
