Group Committees are formed to assist Group Commissioners in servicing and supporting Groups. Group Commissioners need not do everything themselves. Part of their responsibility includes assessing the needs of the Group, determining the amount of work to be done and, if necessary, building a team to ensure that all tasks/responsibilities are achieved. Depending upon the size of the Group, positions may be merged or other positions added as required, i.e., large Groups may find it helpful to add a Group Fundraiser, or Quartermaster to look after the purchasing, storage, maintenance and insurance of equipment. Examples of positions that Group Committees may choose to fill may include, but are not limited, those listed below.

Group Commissioners cannot do this solely by themselves. They must build a team appropriate to the size of the Group. This would include someone to take care of the financial responsibilities (the Group Treasurer/Fundraiser), a Group Registrar and perhaps a Group Secretary. In larger Groups, a Group Administrator may be recruited to take care of many of the administrative responsibilities of the Group Commissioner.
The Group Treasurer/Fundraiser is a registered member who is elected to this position by the membership for a three (3) year term and will effectively record, maintain, plan and explain all financial matters pertaining to the Group and Sections. Present a monthly detailed report that is distributed at least one (1) week prior to the next Group Meeting through a suitable and agreed to means. Handle all financial matters on a daily basis or as required by the Group Committee. Ensure that all section books are properly maintained and audited on a monthly basis; also must be a signing authority on all section accounts. Have all financial records (sections & group) complete and up to date for the year end financial analysis as per the current Scouts Canada By-Law, Policies & Procedures. Ensure that the Group participates in all of Scouts Canada’s official fundraisers. Take the lead in the development of fundraising goals, action plans and the implementation of these goals and plans.
A
little about myself, I have been involved in Scouting since our son was a
Beaver (like my Wife). Since becoming the 13th's Scout Troop Leader in 1996
I have led youth contingents to two Canadian Jamboree's (Thunder Bay in
1997, and P.E.I. in 2001), and I was the Troop Leader for the Canadian
Contingent at the 2005 American Jamboree in Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. Our
last Canadian Jamboree in 2007 I wanted to give something back to the
Scouting organization so I volunteered to be on Sub Camp Staff and travelled
to a small town north of Montreal, Quebec for two weeks to help other Troops
with their Jamboree experience. Currently I am also the Water Professional
that manages the quality of the drinking water for all Scout Camps in the
Tri-shores and Battlefields Regions. Most recently I have been appointed as
Windsor's Deputy Area Commissioner for troop.
yours in scOUTing, Paul Ullman
The Group Secretary is a registered member who is elected to this position by the membership for a three (3) year term and will effectively record and maintain minutes and decisions made as well as compose other correspondence as required by the Group Committee. Present a monthly detailed report of the previous Group Committee meeting minutes that is distributed at least two (2) weeks prior to the next Group Meeting through a suitable and agreed to means.

My name is Carl Goodwin, and I am the Secretary for the 13th. Scouting Group.
When I was growing up in Azilda (near Sudbury), I was a Cub and a Scout. I have
been involved in Scouting as an adult since my oldest son joined Beaver's
(around 9 years ago).I followed both of my son's through their Scouting career
until they became Scouts, and then stepped aside from a leadership role for
personal reasons. After a year off, I became the Secretary of this Group, and am
enjoying my administrative responsibilities. I am also the current "webmaster"
for this site, looking after it's general maintenance and updates.
If you have
any questions or comments, then please feel free to email us.
Carl R. Goodwin,
13th. Group Secretary.
