Chartering Organizations and Scouting
Every scout unit, Troop, Pack or Venture Crew is operated by an organization granted a charter by Scouting America. Charter organizations conduct the Scouting program according to its own policies and guidelines as well as those of Scouting America. The charter organization appoints a Charter Organization Representative (COR) to serve as the primary interface with the troop. Our chartering organization is Hancock United Church of Christ. Our Charter Organization Representative is Ms. Sue Ellen Briggs. Sue Ellen is a long time member and lay leader at Hancock Church. She also served as the Chair of the Troop Committee at Troop 119 from June 2006 to August 2011. The Charter Organization approves all leaders in the unit, provides facilities and resources for the Troop and helps promote a well-run Scouting program.
