District Committee
The district committee meets the 2nd MONDAY of the month. The district committee is a group of volunteers that serves the local units within the district. The committee is broken into several sub committees which include advancement, training, activities, unit service, membership, camping, and fundraising. The district is always looking for help in any of these areas and has roles that can fit anyone's schedule and skill set. Contact District Committee Chair Melinda Allen at mallen@kearnybank.com if you are interested in helping out youth on the district level! 7:00pm-8:30pm
District Commissioner Staff
The commissioner staff meets once a month and focus on the following four primary areas:
-
Supporting unit growth in the Journey to Excellence criteria
-
Linking district committee resources to the unit
-
Visiting units and logging the visits into the Unit Visit Tracking System (UVTS)
-
Supporting on-time charter renewal
A commissioner plays several roles, including friend, representative, unit "doctor," teacher, and counselor.
The commissioner is a friend of the unit. Of all their roles, this one is the most important. It springs from the attitude, "I care, I am here to help, what can I do for you?"
The commissioner is a representative. The commissioner helps represent the ideals, the principles, and the policies of the Scouting movement.
The commissioner is a unit "doctor." In their role as "doctor," they try to see that their units make good "health practices" a way of life. When problems arise, they act quickly.
The commissioner is a teacher. As a commissioner, they will have a wonderful opportunity to participate in the growth of unit leaders by sharing knowledge with them.
The commissioner is a counselor. As a Scouting counselor, they will help units solve their own problems. Everyone needs counseling from time to time, even experienced leaders.
If you are interested in volunteering as a commissioner, please contact Scott Ireland.
Please look into the Trinty Solar Stewardship Program for a great fundraising opportunity for your unit and your Joshua Huddy district.
