How Do Commissioners Help?

Some of the ways commissioners may help a unit include:

 

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