All
districts and divisions are responsible for serving
the units within their boundries through four standard
functions:
1.
Membership
2.
Finance
3.
Unit Service
4.
Program (Activities and Civic Service, Camp Promotion and Outdoor, Advancement
and Recognition, & Training)
The
Boy Scout movement cannot achieve its purpose without
first organizing units and enrolling members. The district
cannot support its units without the funds to do it.
Unit programs are supported by the district through
its program functions and unit service. All four functions
are equally important and necessary.
Each district in the Council regardless of size, has
a District committee to coordinate the work of the district.
All of the functions of the district are carried out
by members of the committee. District committee members
are elected annually at the District Annual Meeting
and installed at the District Banquet. The District
Chairman, and Vice-Chairman as needed, are nominated
by the District Nominating Committee. The District Chairman
serves as a member of the Council Executive Board for
purposes of two-way communication and coordination between
the Council and the District. The District Commissioner,
appointed by the Council Executive Board, works with
a team of Unit Commissioners and Roundtable Commissioners
to serve Scout leaders throughout the District.
