 The National Management Committee brought restructuring proposals to National Council in 2018.As part of these plans, each individual on the NMC agreed to resign as a director, effective 31 October, so as to allow for the election of a new 10 person Board of directors, to come into office on 1 November, and the Chief Scout would no longer be a director, pending approval from extraordinary National Councils in June and October.Among the responsibilities of the Chief Scout are the presentation of Chief Scout Awards to Scouts and the investiture of Scouters into the Order of CúChulainn.
