YOUTH MEMBERS ALSO EXPERIENCE HIGH ADVENTURE programs AT THE PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH IN NEW MEXICO, the SUMMIT BECHTEL RESERVE IN WEST VIRGINIA, the NORTHERN TIER IN northern MINNESOTA northwest ontario and Northeast manitoba, and the FLORIDA SEA BASE IN the Florida keys, As well as the national and WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREES. The council is administratively subdivided into SIX DISTRICTS that coordinate and provide ADULT leader TRAINING, SCOUT CAMPOREES, CUB SCOUT DAY CAMPS, ORDER OF THE ARROW EVENTS and other activities. As a founding member of Intercamp, the Council collaborates with nine or more other Scout associations each year to conduct a weekend activity over the the Whitsun weekend. This international program develops cultural goodwill and friendship - guided by scouting principles that support teamwork and understanding. Training opportunities provided by the Council include Scouters Annual conference, Wood badge training for adults, national camping school for key camp leaders and national youth leadership training. The council periodically hosts a signature Normandy Camporee, which provides recognition and reflection about the 1944 D-Day landings as messengers of peace. Since its inception in 1994,over 40,000 youth and leaders from Scouting America and European scouting associations have taken part in this event. In recognition of the council's efforts, the republic of France has designated the council as "custodians of Omaha Beach".

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

  • 3 · Compensation committee
