Moving Scouting Forward in 2010
In January the Key 3 of each district (District Chairman, District Commissioner and District Executive) got together for our council's annual growth conference. Each district set goals for the year but the focus was on what are we going to do to MOVE SCOUTING FORWARD in 2010. The goals were the metrics to "how do we know when we have been successful?"
How will we MOVE SCOUTING FOWARD in 2010?
1. Help units be successful - Work with unit to earn the national Quality Unit Award - Train leaders - Provide program support & Roundtables - Operate great camps.
Initiative - Ensure the Top Leader of every unit is trained by the end of 2010! Read more>>
2. Provide opportunities for youth to join - Conduct Membership Drives - Organize New Units - Build Relationships With Community Organizations.
3. Fund Scouting - Friends of Scouting annual giving campaign - Popcorn Sale - Special Events like the Golf Tournament and Sporting Clays Classic.
How will we track progress? The staff and volunteers will use these stack charts throughout the year to see how their district is measuring up. Of course, these measure the results of effective work in the district.
Be a part of the equation! Join the district committee in your district.
Contact your district executive to help MOVE SCOUTING FORWARD IN YOUR DISTRICT. Call 804-355-4306 to be contected to your District Executive or click here to find out which district you reside in.

Become a Volunteer Leader
Thousands of volunteer leaders, both men and women, are involved in the Boy Scouting program. They serve in a variety of jobs - everything from unit leaders to chairmen of troop committees, committee members, merit badge counselors, and chartered organization representatives.
Like other phases of the program, Boy Scouting is made available to community organizations having similar interests and goals. Chartered organizations include professional organizations; governmental bodies; and religious, educational, civic, fraternal, business, labor, and citizens' groups. Each organization appoints one of its members as the chartered organization representative. The organization is responsible for leadership, the meeting place, and support for troop activities.
Help Fund the Boy Scout Program
Several groups are responsible for supporting Boy Scouting: the boy and his parents, the troop, the chartered organization, and the community. Boys are encouraged to earn money whenever possible to pay their own expenses, and they also contribute dues to their troop treasuries to pay for budgeted items. Troops obtain additional income by working on approved money-earning projects. The community, including parents, supports Scouting through the United Way/CFC, Friends of Scouting, campaigns, bequests, and special contributions to the NCAC. This income helps provide leadership training, outdoor programs, the Marriott Scout Service Center and other facilities, and professional service for units.
For information about supporting the Scouting program financially, visit the Support Scouting section of the website.
