The Lodge Executive Committee

The Lodge Executive Committee is the steering committee of the Lodge. It is made up of elected officers of the Lodge, Lodge Committee Chairmen, Chapter Chiefs, past Lodge Chief, Lodge Adviser, Chapter Advisers, Staff Adviser, and the Council Scout Executive. The Lodge Chief is the Chairman of the Executive Committee. He prepares an agenda for the meeting in advance and presides over the meeting. The youth members that are listed above are the voting members of the Lodge Executive Committee.

The Executive Board evaluates problems and concerns, studies solutions, and then acts on the business of the Lodge through offices and standing committees. Major decisions are brought to the Lodge Membership for discussion and solution. The Executive Board meets at least 4 times per year and any interested Arrowman may attend as an observer. Outsiders may address the committee only if recognized by the Lodge Chief.
