Are you looking to play a critical role in the life of a unit? Become commissioner trained and you can! Commissioners are trained adults who are there to help units however they can. They help to:

• Brainstorm ideas with unit adults to solve unit problems
• Listen to unit leaders’ needs, ideas and successes
• Suggest resources to improve the unit’s program
• Improve the relationship between unit adults and chartered organization leaders
• Recruit additional adults
• Facilitate the on-time unit charter renewal by assisting with the membership inventory of youth and adults, conducting the charter renewal meeting and presenting the new charter to the chartered organization
• Offer encouragement and recognize success
• Work to ensure an effective unit committee
• Be a “Scouting paramedic” when a unit has a “critical illness”
• Guide the unit in understanding Scouting standards and practices.
