| | Chartered Organization Representative |
The Chartered Organization Representative (COR), holds a key position in Scouting. While there is honor attached to this position, it is not an "honorary" one. The COR's primary function is to ensure that the chartered organization's Scouting program succeeds. The COR is head of the "Scouting department" in the organization. The 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 select the best-qualified leaders for the unit and see that they are supported 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 The COR is also the organization's contact with the district committee and the local council. The COR may become a member of the district committee and is a voting member of the council. |
