What is Commitment?
What is my section Committing to?
Your section commits to supplying a 20-minute activity (a game or skill activity) for the activity rotation. Activity examples will be supplied, and an orientation on developing activities takes place during one of the early organizing meetings. Your section's activity is developed with your youth using the PLAN-DO-REVIEW method. In December, the section will submit an activity idea and brief description. After the section's idea is approved by the Beaver or Cub Coordinator, the section shall write activity instructions for Lodges and Lairs into an online template by the Jan 21 submission deadline. Note: sections are responsible for supplying any materials to operate their activity.
Your section commits to supplying a volunteer, known as a section representative, to liaise between the event and your section. Representatives can be a Venturer, Rover or Scouter in your Group, who is not already representing another section.
The section representative must attend the organizing committee's 5 virtual planning meetings, currently planned to be held on Sundays at 7:30pm, until approximately 9pm, on Nov 5, Nov 19, Dec 10, Jan 7, Jan 28. Please confirm the section representative's availability for those dates before committing your section. In case of an emergency preventing attendance of the representative, the section will have an alternate attend the meeting. Failure to attend meetings or to find an alternate to attend could result in your section losing its right to register for the event, at the discretion of the Key Team.
The section representative will help plan the event before event day by choosing a role on the organizing committee using the role ranking form, before the end of Saturday, Nov 4.
Your section commits to supplying a volunteer to be part of the Service Team during the event. This is usually the section representative, but they do not have to be the same person. The volunteer will not accompany your section during the activity rotation
Your section commits to meeting submission deadlines, such as those established for registration, registration fee, activity idea, and activity participant instructions. See Key Dates.
Thus, before committing by completing this form, your section's team must determine whether it has enough volunteers available to support your section attending the event (i.e. 2+ Scouters attending with the section, and a Scouter, Venturer or Rover who will attend as part of the Service Team) and that a representative is available to attend the 5 virtual planning meetings on their scheduled evenings. Tip: Being able to attend Beaveree-Cuboree may be a good carrot to convince a parent to become a Scouter.
