Tri-Shores Council
Contents |
Introduction
Tri-Shores Council is a principle volunteer support division of Scouts Canada with a geographic focus of Southwestern Ontario. Tri-Shores Council is one of 20 Councils that comprise Scouts Canada and one of eight that operate within Ontario. Tri-Shores is made up of nine Areas and eight camps.
History
Tri-Shores Council was formed in the early twenty-first century as an amalgamation of smaller geographic Regions such as the Great Lakes Region which encompassed London to Windsor. Within these regions were Districts such as London which ultimately were the home to many Groups. Following the change, Districts were renamed Areas. Likewise, at this time the Provincial Council for Ontario was disbanded.
It is important to keep in mind that there is some fluidity overtime with regard to the specific geographic boundaries of both Councils, Areas, and even sometimes Groups.
Tri-Shores Council was both a volunteer support division and an administrative division with fiscal responsibilities up until around 2016. It was at this time the National Council absorbed Council budgets, etc. to streamline the accounting process and better manage the administrative costs associated with the organization.
