Commissioner Training
Training is the first step in preparing you to provide Cub Scout Packs and Boy Scout Troops with the quality service these units need as they continue to support the growth and development of their youth members. Training helps you to prepare for and better understand your role as a “friend and helper” to these units. Training also provides you with the opportunity to acquire a lot of knowledge in a short period of time as you continue on your journey of lifelong learning.
Commissioner Service
Whether you are a new Unit Commissioner, a Roundtable Commissioner, or thinking about becoming a District Commissioner, there are a number of training opportunities to help explore what the job entails and how to do it better.
Commissioner Basic Training
Once you have viewed the Commissioner orientation video, your next step is to attend Commissioner Basic Training. This training will give you more detailed information on how you can best help the units you serve. This training may be given in multi-sessions or in one day. The course is broken down into the following sections:
- Aims And Methods of Scouting - The big picture of Scouting. Commissioners Role / Job Description – You are a unit’s best friend. How To Help – Working with people and paperwork. Unit Visitations – Quality Unit, Training, and Recognition programs.
- Critical Actions – How to save a unit with major problems.
See the Scouting Calendar page of the website for the next course, or contact your District Commissioner to set up a special course. Once you have completed both Commissioner Orientation and Commissioner Basic Training, you are eligible to wear the “Trained” patch on your uniform.
