District Committee

[BDPT00]

I'm curious if anyone might happen to know if there are certain criteria regarding the number of members for a District Committee.

Is there a limit? Opinions would prove interesting, but I'm more interested in facts. If you know, could you also provide the source?

Thanks, BDPT00

The limit is how many people you need to get the work done.

 

A District Committee should be organized as a group of subcommittees:

Finance,

Communications

Membership

Activities

 

Each of those can have hundreds of people if needed.

Many also include subcommittees for:

Camping

Advancement

Training

Cub Scouts

Venturing

Every district must fulfill the four district functions: membership, finance, program, and unit service.

 

The program function includes four sub-committees: Camp Promotion, Activities and Civic service, Advancement and Recognition, and Training.

 

The Unit Service function is the commissioner service. It includes the unit commissioners and Roundtable commissioners.

 

The committee for each function should have enough committee members as are needed to carry out the function. Each committee is staffed by district members-at-large, elected at the district annual meeting. Each committee chair selects and recruits members to serve on the respective committees from the pool of district members-at-large, elected at the district annual meeting.

 

There is no limit to the number of district committee members. These are all volunteer positions.
