    choices over their lifetimes by instilling in
    them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
  • The mission of the Aaronic Priesthood is to help

Aaronic Priesthood Scouting
  • Scouting under Church sponsorship must not
    operate independently of the priesthood and the
    family. The Scout unit should become an extension
    of the home, the deacons, teachers, or priests
    quorum, or the Primary classes and should
    function as part of the Churchs activity program
    for boys and young men. (1997 LDS Scout
    Handbook, pg1)

9
The purposes of the Boy Scouts of America
  • Citizenship training
  • Character development
  • Personal fitness

10
From your knowledge, what Scouting activities
address these purposes?
11
Scouting activities that address these purposes
  • The BSA accomplishes its purpose by making its
    program available to existing organizations that
    have compatible goals.
  • Examples pinewood derbies, campouts,
    electing/calling sustaining troop, team, and
    crew officers, summer camp, youth leader
    training, community service projects, etc.
  • Be aware that activities tend to be
    program-specific, and different methods are used
    in different programs.

Session 3. Charter Concept
20
Types of Charters
  • One of the roles of the national organization of
    the Boy Scouts is to grant charters to use the
    Scouting program. There are two types of charters
    issued by the national organization.
  • Local Councils
  • Local Organizations

21
Local Councils
  • Charters are granted to the local council for two
    purposes
  • Extend an invitation to community
    groups/organizations to use the Scouting program.
  • Provide supporting services to help community
    organizations/groups successfully carry out their
    Scouting programs.
  • Some of the services a council provides
  • Volunteer and professional counseling
  • Leadership development
  • Program resources
  • Service center
  • Camps and other outdoor facilities
  • Liability insurance protection
  • Assist in the selection of leaders

22
Local Organizations
  • The chartered organization uses Scouting
  • Under its own leadership.
  • To serve families and youth for which the
    organization is concerned (either within the
    organization, outside the organization, or both).
  • To help the group or organization accomplish its
    objectives.

23
Local Council Responsibilities
  • Respect the aims and objectives of the
    organization and offer resources to help meet
    those aims and objectives.
  • Provide year-round training, service, and support
    to the organization and units.
  • Provide training and support for the chartered
    organization representative as the primary
    communication link.
  • Provide techniques and methods for selecting
    quality unit leaders and ensuring those selected
    meet BSA leadership standards.
  • Provide primary general liability insurance
  • Provide camping facilities, service centers, and
    a full-time professional staff to assist the
    organization in every possible way.

Session 4. Your Job as a COR
26
Your Responsibilities Are Important
  • Your primary function is to ensure that the
    chartered organization's Scouting program
    succeeds.

    the ward.
  • Franchise Owner/Operator concept

27

  • On-time re-charter

29
Unit Committee
  • Each Scouting unit (pack, troop, team, or crew)
    is managed by a group of adults approved by the
    organization who serve as the unit committee.
  • The committee's principal responsibility is to
    support the Aaronic Priesthood in carrying out
    the unit program. The COR maintains a close
    relationship with the unit committee chairman.
  • The goal is for the COR to report to the
    organization programs, needs, and successes on a
    regular basis. The COR also shares with the unit
    the desires and needs of the chartering
    organization.
  • Thus, communication between the organization and
    its Scouting program is through the chartered
    organization representative.

30
Communication With the Council
  • The Boy Scouts of America, in its relationship
    with chartered organizations, depends on the COR
    to be the liaison between the local council and
    the organization.
  • In fact, you are a voting member of the district
    and council.

SCOUT LEADER REGISTRATION
  • Upon being called to a Ward Scouting leadership
    position, the person accepting the call should
    complete BSA form No. 28-501L "Adult Application"
    (available through your local Scout office),
    making sure all questions have been answered and
    signatures are secured. The membership
    application is submitted with appropriate fees to
    the local BSA council office within the following
    week. Each applicant is checked against the BSA
    files. If there are any problems, a BSA official
    will contact the ward Bishop otherwise the
    Bishop may assume the application has been
    accepted. If an adult being considered for a ward
    Scout leadership calling is new to the ward, the
    Bishop should check with the prior Bishop to make
    certain all is in order. LDS Relationships BSA
