The Model County Award is made to the county which carries the best balanced program of activities during the week, and secures maximum participation by its citizens.  The winner is determined by an accumulative point system which gives recognition to various types of activities, both individual and group.

Credit is given for political activities, civic leadership, literary achievement, conduct ratings, citizenship participation, and athletic attainments.  In addition to the activities previously described, points toward the Model County Award may be accumulated by individual citizens have a bearing on the final results in this contest.

Inasmuch as the general bearing and conduct of all citizens whenever they may be is supposed to be acceptable at all times, the system of points in connection with the conduct of groups must necessarily be negative rather than positive.  Punctuality in assemblies, in meetings, in the mss hall, etc is taken into consideration.  In particular, the conduct of county groups in the dormitories will be noted.  Special attention will be given by a board of Staff Counselors to the conduct of county groups after lights are out at night.

As has been stated, the purpose of the Model County award is to single out for recognition the three counties which carry out the best balanced and most aggressive program of activities during the week.  The system of point deduction is intended to place a penalty on the membership of the units which do not secure boys participation in individual and group activities.
