As you become comfortable with your role in helping your unit succeed, you may
wish to share your expertise. You recall that as a COR you are a voting member of
the district committee and council.
District Committee
By attending the district committee meeting to report on your unit, you will
hear of projects and committees you may wish to become involved in. These
committees and projects vary in the amount of time and effort required. Your
involvement on the district committee will also expand your network for Scouting
help and ideas.
Council Training
The local council conducts a variety of training courses to support your unit
and its operation. (Talk specifically about local council training.)
Philmont Training Center
Beyond training offered on the local council level, the BSA offers training
on a national level. Philmont Training Center in New Mexico provides "mountaintop"
training experiences. Volunteers are exposed to national volunteers and staff.
Roundtable
Another opportunity to strengthen the local Scout unit is the roundtable. Unit
leaders get ideas on monthly themes and outdoor ideas, as well as advancement
information.
Distribute your district/council calendar.
Review the dates of district committee meetings and roundtables.
Final Questions
Conclude training with an opportunity for participants to ask any final
questions.
Inspiration/Graduation
Share an inspirational thought with the group and distribute certificates
of completion.
