The Nova Scotia Council Team is composed of many volunteers and staff who work tirelessly to support scouting here in Nova Scotia. Each group in the country has an assigned support person to aid and assist scouters in their roles. Here you can learn more about how to contact a member of our team.
For more information on the Group Support Model please visit an FAQ here.
The Council is managed by two volunteers (the Council Commissioner and the Council Youth Commissioner) and one employee (the Council Relationship Manager). Together these three individuals form the Council Key 3 who are esponsible for all aspects of program implementation, delivery, service and support as well as implementation of Scouts Canada’s policies.
Council Voting Representatives (or CVR's) speak for the interests of all Scouting members within the Council. CVR's vote on motions at the Annual General Meeting of Scouts Canada every fall and at any special meetings that are called. Some of these duties include: recommendations from the Nominating Committee regarding appointments to the Board of Governors, recommendation of the Audit Committee regarding the appointment of auditors for the following year, reports from management, the Vice-Chair Finance and Audit Committee. Council Voting Representatives are elected annually and serve until August 31st of the following year, or until the next election.
If you have an issue or suggestion, please let us know. We will be collecting feedback throughout this year to make sure we are adequately representing our Council. Please feel free to reach out to us about any scouting related topic that you feel is important.
