Maybe you'd like to be a Commissioner or Chairperson?

It's a great Scouting job, and very rewarding. Many Commissioners have lots of years of experience in Scouting, but that's not a requirement! Even if you are new to Scouting, if you like working with people to promote good Scouting and solve problems, and you are willing to take advantage of the many Commissioner training opportunities put on throughout the year, you may be a great candidate for this area of Scouting service. Just contact one of the Scouters listed above and you will be on your way.

The District Commissioners have aid from Assistant District Commissioners (ADC) who manage Unit Commissioners (UC) and work actively in support of Units. Roundtable Commissioners and the volunteers serving as round-table staff hold a monthly meeting with unit volunteers to demonstrate skills, introduce program helps and provide time for sharing and fellowship with other volunteers.

I shall recognize the responsibility for each Unit rests in the Chartered Organization (CO) and I shall assist in achieving the full value of the Scouting program to meet the CO's needs.

I shall strive to lead through information, persuasion and inspiration rather than coercion.

I shall stimulate friendly and orderly discussion until all facts and opinions are considered.

I shall assist those who serve to receive information needed to accomplish their position.

I shall measure my success by the extent to which boys and adults exemplify the principles of the Scout Oath and Law.

Commissioners Pledge

On my honor I will do my best, by the example of my daily life, to make the Scout Oath and Law a more vital force for good character and citizenship in the lives of the boys and the leaders I serve.

I will do my best to help secure and to help make more effective, the finest possible leadership for the units I serve.

I will do my best to help make the program of the units I serve the best it can, rich in wholesome fun and adventure.

In all that I do, I will strive to help my units attract into membership every possible boy so that, through his participation, that boy, can help make America a finer, greater nation in the world community.
