INTEGRATION TEAMS

Overview, How To Become Involved, Tools and Tracking


Overview/Scope/Mission
Integration teams are the tools chosen to bring the operations of our two councils together. Twenty teams of volunteers and staff are covering all aspects of council operations, considering the big picture view and the myriad of details that must be dealt with prior to consolidation.  The teams and their subcommittees will determine implementation details as well as make policy level recommendations.

For major decisions such as staffing, team recommendations will go to the Scout Executive’s Cabinet and board of directors. The work of all integration teams is ultimately subject to the approval of the board of directors and Scout Executive.

There are a lot of decisions to be made in a very short span of time. It is expected that the teams will review the practices of both councils, selecting the best when apparent and designing or recommending the design of new ones where necessary.

The integration teams are short-term and will be replaced with council committees as their tasks are completed. Longer term needs that are identified will go to the respective council committees for resolution.  Each team’s work product will be a “plan of operation”  or "planbook" which will form the basis for the new council plan of operation.

Contact Kent York or John Kuehn for more information on how to get involved with these teams.
