The
primary responsibility and goal of the Program Chair is to
recruit volunteers to staff the Program Committee and carry out
the four functions of our Scouting program (Activities and Civic
Service, Advancement, Camp Promotion and Outdoor Activities, and
Training), each handled by an operating committee of the
district.
