District Committees Serve and
Strengthen Units
The district committee is the foundation supporting Scouting units in a geographic
area. The district monitors resources to ensure growth through
coordinated volunteer efforts.
District committees are made up of community leaders interested in
providing Scouting to the youth in their neighborhoods, and in instilling
character-building values of the Scouting program. “The purpose of the
district is to work through chartered organizations and community groups
to organize and support Scout units.”
Each district consists of many packs, troops, teams and crews. The
functional process of a quality district committee is membership, finance,
program activity and unit service. Volunteers are asked to support Scouting
as district leaders. Districts work to establish a solid core of key volunteers
willing to meet monthly to guide the district through key committees
of specific interests related to the Scouting program.
Simply, volunteers whose interest in membership growth, leadership training,
financial stewardship and calendar activities (the fun stuff) take on
the role of assisting Scouting units.
There are never too many volunteers serving in a district. Scouting
is successful because of volunteers within district committees. Scouts deserve
the best in trained leaders, quality and safe activities; when these
are present Scouting is able to grow. A solid volunteer base within your
District helps guarantee a positive experience for you and your Scouts.
