COMMISSIONER PROGRAM

The concept for today’s commissioner service focuses on the unit. The commissioner’s specific mission is to keep units operating at maximum efficiency so that they can deliver a good program to a growing membership. Commissioners are results-oriented rather than procedure-oriented. They are successful in their mission when units continue to operate, units regularly accept new boys, and units effectively deliver the ideals of Scouting to their members.

The unit commissioner’s responsibility is to:

1/ Become a friend of your unit leaders.

2/ Make a monthly contact with each of your units.

3/ Help units improve their programs and meet the Quality Unit Award.

4/ Assist units in rechartering on time.

5/ Provide two-way communication between units and the district committee

6/ Involve appropriate district specialists like trainers, advancement specialists

     and Roundtable staff as needed for the development of the unit.

7/ Have fun!
