A watered down dry definition of a district is that it's a geographical area in a Boy Scout Council that is managed by a District Chairman, District Commissioner and a District Executive. A district is not a registered business entity as it is part of an entity known as a Council. The Council is basically a bigger district that has smaller districts within it to support the scouts and scouters more directly. I will not go real deep with a council except to say that the same elements that make up a district are also making the council.
The fact of the matter is, there is more to a district than the quick definition. There is actually so much to a district it's complicated even when you break it down to it's basics, however, I will do everything I can to explain a district in the simplist of forms to make it easier to understand.
A district is really an extended family. Every person in a district is a member of that family. In order for this family to function the family members need to be involved. These family members do different things such as ensuring there is a program for our children, that the programs being run are of the highest calibure, that their immediate and extended families are a quality family.
Now the question that we want answered is, "What is the district?" The simplest answer is the district is every person involved in the program within that district. Every Scout, parent, Scouter and Staff member form the district.
