PROGRAM
The council has two main program committees that oversee the Cub Scout and Scouts BSA activities for the Miami Valley Council. Each committee is lead by a Program VP who oversees sub committees for Activities, Advancement, and Training. The purpose of each committee is to support the Scouting program at Council level and to provide fun, safe, and engaging opportunities to supplement and support the Unit level programs.

Advancement
Advancing in rank helps expand a Scout’s horizons and is the process by which Scouts learn useful skills and gain experience. The next rank is not the goal – the learning and experience is the goal. It is one of several methods that Scouting America has developed to help leaders carry out Scouting’s aims and mission. Advancement applies across all aspects of youth Scouting including Cubs, Scouts BSA, and Venturing.
The Council Advancement Committee is responsible for serving our Scout’s advancement and recognition needs and providing guidance for Scouters who administer the program. Our Council’s Advancement Committee is tasked with ensuring adherence to the requirements established by Scouting America.
TRAINING
The Training Committees for Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts monitor and encourages leader training on all levels of Scouting. Training Chairs work with units to provide the necessary support to get Pack, Troop, and Crew leaders trained for their specific unit roles. The Training Committees support Council training events – Buckskin, Wood Badge, NYLT – and provide them with the latest training materials. The Training Committees also work with Council Leadership to identify areas that show training weakness and rectify the situation in a way that is beneficial to all.
Activities
Our various Activities Committees plan many exciting events throughout the year for the Scouts in the Miami Valley. Some of the events we plan are Cub Scout Target and Range Days, STEM events, weekend campouts or camporees for Scouts BSA, and many more.
