Why These Are Important

The BCSA’s policies and processes aid in the organisation of affiliate clubs and individual members. It lays the ground work for Clubs and members alike to act in specific ways, allowing the BCSA to fulfil its goals more effectively. Policies and procedures also aid in the achievement of operational goals for the Council as a whole. Some BCSA rules and processes aid in meeting compliance goals also. Duties may be completed in a variety of ways, but policy and procedures assist the Clubs and members on how to do those tasks in accordance with the BCSA charter. They form an important part of the BCSA mandate.
