GUNG-HO GROUPS

1. are composed of local Scientologists in the field, any friends who are interested and general public members. First a captain, secretary, treasurer and public officer must be elected by the group. When the group is formed, it must contact the Group Officer of the nearest org and give its address and the names of its officers and members, etc., and apply for a group certificate. Gung-Ho means "pull together" in Mandarin. It pulls together other groups in the community to work towards the betterment of society and of the area. The group's program works on the motto: a community that pulls together can make a better society for all. (HCO PL 2 Dec 68) 2. a Franchise Center is different entirely from a Gung-Ho Group. One can easily benefit from the other. But the Gung-Ho Group is there to speed up and smooth out the society and civic organizations and make a better community atmosphere directly. The group is a society entrance point. The Franchise Center is basically a Scn training and processing activity for individuals. The group works on other dynamics notably the third and fourth.
