The District Membership Committee plays a crucial role in expanding and strengthening Scouting within the community. Its primary responsibilities include managing relationships with community organizations, organizing new units to drive youth membership growth, and leading youth recruitment efforts. Maintaining strong connections with current chartered organizations is vital and involves regular appreciation, invitations to events, and recognition for their support. While less formal than at the council level, district-level relationship-building acts as a door-opening function that complements council efforts. The committee may also include members focused on specific organization types—religious, educational, or community-based—based on district needs. Organizing new units and supporting the reorganization of struggling ones are key duties, often carried out in collaboration with the commissioner staff. Unlike a planning body, the district membership committee functions as an active, hands-on team responsible for executing events and initiatives that bring Scouting opportunities to more youth.
