I have seen them for the Scout position, such as SPL, Scribe and the like and for Scoutmaster, but not for others admin | IP: Logged spin-off new thread shemgren Senior Forum Member Registered: 10/13/2000 Location:  Posts: 221 View member's profile Send Private Message Ignore this user RE: Committee Chairman Duties Posted: Saturday, 12/6/2003: 7:51:28 PM     quality There are two resources: 1) Troop Committee Guidebook, No. 34505 and 2) The Troop Committee Challenge, No. 33643 both of these should be available from your Scout Service Center. admin | IP: Logged spin-off new thread Bob White Senior Forum Member Registered: 2/3/2002 Location: Midwest Posts: 9602 View member's profile Send Private Message Ignore this user RE: Committee Chairman Duties Posted: Saturday, 12/6/2003: 11:42:56 PM     quality Pat, Which committee there are lots of them.

The class you would need is New Leader Essentials and also Leader Specific Training for troop committee. It is good to read the BSA materials (as cited above) but by getting proper training you will find your job much easier and you will deliver a better BSA program to the boys. It really is a lot easier than trying to figure it out all by yourself... and the training people can answer all your questions and put you in touch with many district resources through the monthly Scout Roundtable. If you are not becoming a committee chairman then there are other Leader Specific classes for every position and you will be a big help to your troop to get trained for anything you do.

This is why BW asked his question. The reason for this is that the responsibilities of the committee as a whole vary with the type of unit. At the cub scout level, the committee essentially runs the programs working with the cubmaster and den leaders. At boy scout troops and other types of units for older youth, the youth themselves take on more responsibility for planning and executing the program, and the roles of the unit leaders and the committees shift accordingly. admin | IP: Logged spin-off new thread
