Service Areas

[edit]

Manitoba is divided into Service Areas, each with an Area Commissioner and (ideally) with a service team.

The current Service Areas are:

  • Lakeland
  • West Manitoba (West Man)
  • Northern Manitoba (Nor Man)
  • Pembina Trails
  • North West Winnipeg
  • Agassiz Basin
  • East Winnipeg

Within each area are groups — made up of one or more sections (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, Rovers) a group will have at least a Group Commissioner and may also have a group administrator, secretary, treasurer, registrar and quartermaster. This structure follows the Scouts Canada Standard.[citation needed]
