I invite all new and current unit and district commissioners and scouters who may be interested in learning more about being a unit commissioner to attend one of our two Commissioner trainings being offered Saturday Dec. 3rd or Dec. 10th.
Gathering will be from 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM
Training will run from 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM
A working lunch will be included.
Commissioners are district and council leaders who help Scout units succeed. Commissioners 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.
A new Commissioner should complete the Basic Commissioner Training as soon as possible after taking the Commissioner position. There is general Commissioner information and Commissioner specific information. Roundtable Commissioner have special training to address roundtable needs, while Unit Commissioners get training about visiting their units. It may also be helpful to a new Commissioner to take the Leader Specific training for Cub Scout Leaders, Boy Scout Leaders, or Venturing Leaders if you have not involved in that area of the Scouting Program, but are not required to become basic trained. In this three-part course, you will learn the fundamentals of the critical job of unit service.
Part 1 -- Why Commissioners: Topics covered include Aims and Methods of Scouting, the Commissioner Service Role, Supporting the Unit, and Unit Program Planning.
Part 2 -- Units: The Commissioners Greatest Priority: Topics covered include Unit Committee Functions, Youth Protection, and Quality Unit Operation.
Part 3 -- How to Help a Unit: Topics covered include Counseling, the District Committee, Membership Management, Unit Charter Renewal Process, and Saving a Unit.
Thank you to all our Glacier's Edge Council Commissioners for the help you provide to our units, Scouts, leaders, district and council. John Huttenhoff, Council Commissioner
