Behind every great Scout unit is a team of dedicated adult volunteers. And behind those volunteers is someone who supports, encourages, and connects them when they need it most. That someone is a Commissioner.

If you want to make a meaningful difference beyond your own unit, becoming a Commissioner may be the perfect next step. Commissioners focus on people. They build relationships with unit leaders, offer guidance and encouragement, and help connect Packs, Troops, and Crews with helpful council resources. The Commissioner badge is distinguished by a wreath of service surrounding it, symbolizing their shared responsibility for and commitment to unit service and reflecting what the role is truly about: strengthening units by serving the volunteers who lead them.

No prior Scouting experience is required and you don’t need all the answers. Experienced Commissioners will train and mentor you as you grow into the role. What matters most is a heart for service and a desire to help other volunteers succeed.

Learn more at in-person Commissioner training on Saturday, April 25 at 10:00 am at the Council Office. There is no cost for this training. Find out how you can serve those who serve Scouts and help every unit thrive. For questions, please reach out to Matt Phillipi.
