Commissioners make Scouting work!
Commissioners are district and council leaders who help Scout
units succeed. They coach and consult with adult leaders of Cub
Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, and Venturing crews.
Commissioners help maintain the standards of the Boy Scouts of
America. They also oversee the unit charter renewal plan so that
each unit reregisters on time with an optimum number of youth
and adult members.
