The role of the Boy Scouts of America’s National Conservation and Environment Sub Committee is to ensure that the conservation and environment program emphasis is properly maintained throughout the Scouting program, and to ensure that adequate resources are available to support local councils as they effectively and sustainably manage the natural resources associated with council properties. The National Conservation and Environment Sub Committee consists of members who are subject matter experts and partners from federal land management agencies and environmental non-government organizations. A Scouting volunteer advocate representing each of the four BSA regions serves on the national sub committee and works to ensure the transfer of information between local councils, areas, regions, and the task force.
