THE PURPOSE FOR DISTRICT COMMITTEE MEETINGS:
The District has Committee Meetings once a month - just like a normal unit does - in order to provide many services that help meet the needs of local Scouting Units. Services such as: expanding and strengthening the relationships that we have here in our community, supporting local programs like the District Pinewood Derby Race, Boy Scout camporees, and Cub Scout Day Camp. We help Scouting raise the funds that our Council needs to run successful programs. We help your Unit recruit new members, provide training for all of our parents and unit leaders, conduct Eagle Boards of Review, Scouting For Food projects, and MORE!
District Committee Meetings are always open to anyone, but our regular attendance comes from those who help Scouting in the following areas: Activities & Camping, Training, Finance, Publicity & Civic Service, Advancement & Recognition, and Membership. Each of these committees are headed by a Chairman who helps us to recruit the very best volunteers to support the Scouting movement. Unless otherwise noted here, our District Committee Meetings will always occur on the 2nd Tuesday of the Month beginning at 6:00pm.
