Program Committees

The council maintains a number of committees consisting of dedicated volunteers who work to provide quality program for the youth in western Massachusetts. Whether directly running special programs on the council level, providing assistance to the districts for their activities or serving as a resource for units or the staff of our summer camp programs, these committees are a vital part of the council's overall plan. More information about each committee and their individual missions can be found by clicking on the appropriate committee in the list to the right.
