District & Council Leadership
District & Council Overview
A local Boy Scout council is a voluntary association of citizens
including representatives of organizations that are chartered by
the Boy Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within
a geographic area.
The following text is from the Orientation Guide for
Council Officers and Executive Board Members. It
helps remind us of the four major functions of a local council:
Program, Unit Service, Finance and Membership/Relationships.
Just as a boy deserves a trained leader, so does a council and
its districts.
“Why We Serve
It is the purpose of the Boy Scouts of America to provide
boys and young adults with an effective program designed to instill
desirable qualities of character, to train youth in the responsibilities
of participating citizenship, and to develop in them personal
fitness, thus to help in the development of American citizens
who
- Are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit
- Have a high degree of self-reliance as evidenced in such
qualities as initiative, courage, and resourcefulness.
- Have personal and stable values based firmly on religious
concepts
- Have a desire and skills to help others.
- Have a desire to learn the principles of the American
social, economics, and governmental systems.
- Are knowledgeable about and take pride in their American
heritage.
- Have a keen respect for the basic rights of all people.
- Are prepared to fulfill the varied responsibilities of
participating in and giving leadership to American society
and in the forums of the world.
The Boy Scouts of America accomplishes this purpose by making
its program available to organizations and groups that have compatible
goals, including religious, educational, civic, fraternal, business,
labor, and governmental bodies.
Scouting – Resources for Community Organizations
Community organizations vitally concerned with youth should
understand Scouting as a resource program for them, not as something
that they “sponsor” for the Boys Scouts of America.
Following incorporation in 1910, the Scouting movement became
increasingly popular throughout America. The Congress of the
United States recognized Scouting’s potential as an educational
resource for groups interested in a positive program for youth.
Congress, representing the people of the United States granted
a charter to the Boy Scouts of America in 1916 to make its program
available through community organizations.
Under the authority of its congressional mandate, the Boy
Scouts of America issues two kinds of charters in each local
council area.
One type of charter is issued to a BSA local council to: (1)
provide service to help chartered organizations be continuously
successful in their use of Scouting program, and (2) extend an
invitation to other community groups to use the program and to
interpret how it will help them.
The second type of charter is issued to chartered organizations
for each pack, troop, team, or crew that they operate.
A district, which is a geographical subdivision of a BSA local
council, has these same two responsibilities in the part of the
council it serves. The district is the structure closest to the
organizations, families, and youth who benefit from the program;
therefore, the district is a crucial part of the total Scouting
structure – “If it doesn’t happen in the district,
it doesn’t happen.”
It may be helpful to consider Scouting in two ways.
1. As the programs of the Boy Scouts of America – Cub
Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, and Venturing- that
instill desirable values in youth.
2. As the support service of the Boy Scouts of America – delivering
to community organizations and groups by the local council through
its district operation – all for the purpose of assisting
the chartered organizations that use the program. The local council
receives additional support from the National Council through
the BSA’s regional structure.
The history of the Scouting movement holds the key to its
purpose and success. When Scouting is properly understood as
a resource program, community organizations will use it more
effectively. When a quality program is delivered, more youth
will join.
The Mission of a BSA Local Council
A BSA local council is a voluntary organization of citizens,
including representatives of organizations chartered by the Boy
Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within a geographical
area.
It is the council’s responsibility to provide leadership
and supervision for all program activities within the territory
covered by its charter in such a manner as to ensure compliance
with the provision of the Charter and Bylaws of the Boy Scouts
of America and the Rules and Regulations of the Boy Scouts of
America.
The local council is an administrative organization charged
with fulfilling the purposed of the movement. Scouting is a volunteer
movement that operates with professional guidance. This plan
divides the administration of Scouting into workable segments
in terms of geography, volunteer personnel, finances, and professional
guidance.
Four major functions help a council deliver the Scouting programs:
- membership/relationships,
- finance,
- program, and
- unit service.
These four functions and all other responsibilities are accomplished
in each council in a manner that is influenced by local conditions
and circumstances. How a council organizes to carry out this
plan is the most efficient way is determined by its size, the
resources available, its present structure, and other local factors.”
Training of council and district leaders is critical to the long
term success of Scouting. In addition to the training courses provided
leaders there are many opportunities for individual self-study of
Scouting literature developed to support the major functions of a
council.
The following descriptions come from the Orientation Guide
for Council Officers and Executive Board Members.
"Local Council
The governing body is called the council. The council
is made up of chartered organization representatives who represent
each organization chartered to operate units. There are also members-at-large
elected by the council nominating committee. The council meets
once a year, but special meetings may be called to handle special
business.
The chartered organization representatives speak for the organizations
that have already undertaken the operation of units. Council members-at-large
reflect the thinking of every segment of the council territory – religious,
cultural, civic, veterans, fraternal, educational, agricultural,
industrial, and labor groups."
"The Mission of a BSA Local Council
A BSA local council is a voluntary organization of citizens,
including representatives of organizations chartered by the Boy
Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within a geographical
area.
It is the council’s responsibility to provide leadership
and supervision for all program activities within the territory
covered by its charter in such a manner as to ensure compliance
with the provision of the Charter and Bylaws of the Boy Scouts

1. membership/relationships,
2. finance,
3. program, and
4. unit service.
These four functions and all other responsibilities are accomplished
in each council in a manner that is influenced by local conditions
and circumstances. How a council organizes to carry out this plan
is the most efficient way is determined by its size, the resources
available, its present structure, and other local factors."
"The District
To help carry out the operational mission of the council,
the council territory is divided geographically into districts
as determined by the executive board. The objectives of the district
are to expand opportunities for youth to join Scouting, and to
help existing chartered organizations and their units provide a
quality program for their youth. The district is responsible for
carrying out the sales and service role on behalf of the council.
The council is responsible for building strong districts and for
helping these districts succeed."
"Executive Board
The executive board of a local council is a functioning
administrative group elected to take the necessary action to achieve
the purpose of the council. It establishes the council program
and carries out the resolutions, policies, and activities voted
on by the council. It determines policy for the council in accordance
with its delegated authority, and within the context of the Charter
and Bylaws and the Rules and Regulations of the Boy Scouts of America.
The board protects the long-range future of Scouting in the community.
Council board members play two complimentary but very different
roles. First like the familiar corporate board member, they govern
the organization. Unlike corporate board members, they also sign
on as volunteers agreeing to undertake any assignment reasonably
asked of them."
"Executive Committee
The executive committee is composed of elected council
officers, the Scout executive, who shall have no vote and others
as appointed by the president and as approved by the executive
board.
The executive committee acts for the executive board in the intervals
between board meetings. The board receives the minutes of such
meetings for approval at the next board meeting. The executive
committee may not act contrary to action previously taken by the
board."

Managing
Risk
An injury that doesn't happen needs no treatment. An emergency
that doesn't occur requires no response. An illness that doesn't
develop demands no remedy. The best way to stay safe in the
outdoors is to avoid getting into trouble in the first place.
That requires planning, training, leadership, good judgment,
and accepting responsibility—in short, risk management.
We manage risk in almost every aspect of our lives. There
is risk involved in stepping out of our homes in the morning,
but we go anyway. There are risks in crossing a street, catching
a bus, and taking part in sports, but we find ways to minimize
these risks and maximize our safety and well-being.
Risk management is so much a part of outdoor adventures that
often we hardly notice we are doing it. When we fill bottles
with water from streams and lakes, we deal with the risk of
parasites by treating the water with a filter or chemicals,
or by boiling it. When we share the outdoors with bears, we
protect them and ourselves by hanging our food out of their
reach, eliminating odors from our sleeping areas, and keeping
campsites spotless. When foul weather blows in, routes become
uncomfortably exposed, streams swell, or snow loads make avalanches
a possibility, we consider all the available information and
then make decisions that keep risks at acceptable levels.

 Scouting
Safely
The Boy Scouts of America has nearly a century of experience
conducting high-adventure outdoor activities in a manner that
is safe for all participants.
Few youth organizations encompass the breadth, volume and
diversity of physical activity common to Scouting, and none
enjoy a better safety record. The key to maintaining and improving
this exemplary record is the conscientious and trained adult
leader who is attentive to safety concerns.
