Activities Committee Member

It is the responsibility of the activities and civic service committee to support units through the plan, promotion, and operation of multi unit events that supplement, but do not supplant, unit program. A district activities committee does the following:

1. Plans and promotes a well-balanced schedule of district events, and recruits teams to carry them out.

2. Decides how Scouting can become involved in selected needs and interests of communities in the district. Helps Scouting units take part in community service projects in such a manner that youth members learn qualities of good citizenship.

3. Plans and promotes service projects at a district and unit level.

4. Promotes and assists with the planning of council events (such as the council show or Eagle Scout or Silver Award dinner).

5. Promotes and carries out the district’s share of national events (such as Scouting Anniversary Week or a national jamboree).

6. Conducts an annual poll of unit leaders to determine unit needs and interests for district activities. Be sure the committee includes people familiar with Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Sea Scouting, and Venturing.
