Sponsorship is conceptualized as a special case of interorganizational relations in which the organization being sponsored utilizes other organizations to implement its own program at the grass-roots level. A national probability sample of the Boy Scout troops is examined, and it is determined that the type of sponsor has little effect on the activities of the scout troop. The type of sponsor, however, does effect the troop in that sponsors tend to have a very different turnover rate. While it is commonly believed that the sponsors of scout troops would be pluralistic in nature, the evidence indicates that the selection and retention of sponsors becomes a very selective process
