Commissioners are district and
council leaders who help Scout units succeed.
They coach and consult with adult leaders of Cub
Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, and Venturing
crews. Commissioners help maintain the standards
of the Boy Scouts of America. They also oversee
the unit charter renewal plan so that each unit
reregisters on time with an optimum number of
youth and adult members.
How Is
Commissioner Service Organized?
At the national level, BSA has a National
Commissioner. Similarly, each Council has a
Council Commissioner and Assistant Council
Commissioners. However, it is at the District
level that you will find more than 95% of BSA's
Commissioners serving. Whether as District
Commissioner, Assistant District Commissioners,
Roundtable Commissioners, or Unit Commissioners,
these dedicated Scouters provide every aspect of
Unit service.
District
Commissioner
The District Commissioner is a volunteer who
works with the Roundtable Commissioners, Unit
Commisioners and Assistant District
Commissioners in your district. These
commissioners play several roles, including
friend, representative, unit "doctor," teacher
and counselor.
Roundtable
Commissioners
Roundtable Commissioners provide unit leaders
with resources and training in program skills
through regularly scheduled roundtable meetings.
Unit
Commissioner
The Unit Commissioner's mission is to provide
guidance, and deliver meaningful service to the
units that they serve. This brings about
membership growth, ensures on time charter
renewal, and helps units succeed. Unit
Commissioners are assigned to a small group of
individual units, and are available to address
specific unit needs as they arise. |
