Operating committees. For the lodge to achieve
its camping promotion and cheerful service objectives, a number of operating
committees must be organized to implement its programs.
Committee chairmen are appointed by the lodge chief with the approval of
the lodge adviser. They become members of the executive committee and may
pick their own committee members subject to the approval of the lodge chief.
Each operating committee should have one or more adult committee advisers
to guide committee work. They are appointed by the lodge adviser in consultation
with the lodge chief and are approved by the Sccrut executive or staff adviser.
It is the adviser's job to provide information, instruction, and coaching
for the committee members.
Every Arrowman should serve on one or more committees. In this way, all
members share responsibility for lodge activities and projects. Lodge officers
should not be burdened with all the details of committee meetings and related
projects.
Here are some of the basic lodge operating committees:
Camping promotion committee. Develops plans for
camping promotion in consultation with the council camping committee; develops
promotion helps such as "Where to Go Camping" booklets, visual
aids, color slides, and movies or videos of camping activities. The council
camping committee representative to the executive committee usually serves
as the camping promotion committee adviser.
Ceremonial committee. Recruits and trains ceremonial
teams, instructs members on appropriate ceremonial costumes, keeps ceremonial
grounds in good condition, and conducts lodge and Scout unit ceremonies
when requested.
Communications committee. Prepares lodge newsletters,
develops and maintains lodge Web sites, organizes and operates the network
of OA troop/team representatives to keep units informed, and promotes participation
in OA events and activities. Some lodges may want to create a separate troop/team
representative committee.
Membership committee. Checks on inactive members
and maintains membership records, sends out letters each year to identify
active members and checks address changes, and sends letters to Ordeal members
eligible for Brotherhood membership.
Service committee. Suggests a yearly schedule of
service projects, gets lodge approval, and makes complete plans for getting
the work done.
Unit elections committee. Sends out information
to the unit leader regarding membership election procedures, organizes and
trains election teams, schedules visits of election teams to units, and
records the results of elections.
Ad hoc committees. Committees are sometimes appointed
on a temporary basis to carry out some specific assignments such as lodge
officer nominations, Vigil Honor nominations, lodge rule revisions, or running
a single service project, a banquet, or other major lodge activity.
Some of the larger lodges broaden their committee structure to include editorial,
public relations, American Indian dance team, costuming committees, etc.
Lodges organized by chapters may have corresponding chapter-level committees
with the chapter committee chairman serving on the lodge level committees.
