A Service Unit is composed of all troops that meet within its geographical jurisdiction. There are approximately 130 service units in our Council. Service Unit teams appoint, train, and provide programming and conflict management for troops and troop volunteers. They hold required monthly support meetings for troop leaders or their representatives, called Service Unit meetings. Service Unit Teams are made up of volunteers to help support troops in their area. Every troop is part of a Service Unit based on where the troop meets.
