Commissioners

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.

The Commissioner Concept

The commissioner is the liaison between the local council and Scouting units. The commissioner is successful when units effectively deliver the ideals of Scouting to their members. Specifically, a commissioner:

• Builds relationships as a "friend to the unit", getting to know the people and character of the leadership team.
• Provides connections to other units, District, Council and national resources.
• Informs with up to date news from the District, Council and National organization.
• Ensures all leaders are trained.
• Offers friendly and timely assitance when challenges arise.
• Is a resource for you!
