  1. Chartered Organization Representative (COR)

  2. Who is the COR, and how does he fit within the Scouting organization? • What are his responsibilities? • How can we help him?

  3. “The bishop assigns a counselor to serve as the ward’s representative to the local Scouting district and council” (Section 4.2, Scouting Handbook: United States, 2012). The COR is the head of the Scouting department in the ward. Who is the COR?

  4. The COR is head of the "Scouting department" in the ward and, as such, the responsibilities of the units and leadership is ultimately the COR's responsibility. The responsibilities of the COR are as follows: What are the COR's responsiblilities?

  5. Charter all Scouting units in the ward annually. Register boys ages 8 – 11, young men ages 12 – 15, and their adult leaders. Young men ages 16 and 17 and their leaders should be registered when the ward sponsors a Venturing Crew or when rank advancements are being pursued. See that Tour Plans are completed; signed by the bishop, the COR, or the committee chair; and submitted. Attend the district committee meetings and the annual council business meeting. Attend Scout training as necessary. Encourage all adults involved in Scouting to become properly trained soon after their call. Help organize a functioning Scouting committee. Conduct the annual Friends of Scouting campaign. Help provide recognition for boys, young men, and their leaders. (Source: Section 4.2, Scouting Handbook: United States, 2012)

  6. What can we do to help the COR? • Share the burden. The COR ideally should only have to do what only he can do. • Report back to the COR regularly (don't wait for him to ask) • Magnify your calling

  7. The book Century of Honor, recently published by the LDS-BSA Relationships Office, says: “The inspired decision made 100 years ago to affiliate Scouting programs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Boy Scouts of America has resulted in countless good turns, strong relationships, and millions of lives positively affected by both organizations. A century later, this Scouting partnership continues to enable young men to successfully serve as missionaries, husbands, and fathers and fulfill their duty to God, country, and family.”

  8. In this work there must be commitment. There must be devotion. We are engaged in a great eternal struggle that concerns the very souls of the sons and daughters of God. We are not losing. We are winning. We will continue to win if we will be faithful and true. We can do it. We must do it. We will do it. There is nothing the Lord has asked of us that in faith we cannot accomplish. Gordon B. Hinkley, October, 1986 General Conference
