The National Committee on Catholic Scouting (NCCS) has 12 standing committees, each made up of volunteers who are nominated to the committee. All of these positions involve self-motivation and leadership skills and often professional level skills (marketing, finance, accounting, journalism, sales, human relations, etc.). Scouting and Church (parish and/or diocesan) leadership experience is expected. Financial support is not normally offered for volunteers in normal execution of their duties and a level of annual financial contribution to the NCCS is expected.
