Notes |
"Commissioner Service is the group within the Boy Scouts of America that provides direct service to each Scouting unit (pack, troop, team, crew or ship). Commissioners are experienced Scouters who help chartered organizations and unit leaders to achieve the aims of Scouting by using the methods of Scouting. They help to ensure that each unit has strong leadership and they encourage training, promote the use of the unit committee and encourage a relationship with the chartering organization. "The Commissioner position is the oldest in Scouting and is the origin of the professional Scouter positions.[6] From its inception, the commissioner has been a volunteer expected to work with and encourage Scoutmasters, along with a council's paid Scout Executive.[7]" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scout_Commissioner 10/21/2021] |
