Commissioner Staff

Commissioning is a very important role in Scouting. A Commissioner is a Scouter who has some experience with the Scouting program. A Commissioner is a person who may not know all the answers, but knows how to find them. A Commissioner is a leader who helps Scout units succeed. There are several roles that a Commissioner plays including friend, representative, unit “doctor”, teacher, and counselor. As a friend, the Commissioner is available to help units find the information that they need to succeed. The Commissioner is an advocate of the unit needs. As a representative, the Commissioner helps represent the ideals, principles, and policies of the Boy Scouts of America. As a unit “doctor", the Commissioner watches for symptoms of trouble within the unit and helps to diagnose the real ailment, prescribe a remedy, and follow up on the “patient.” As a teacher, the Commissioner shares knowledge with the units. When the Commissioner does not know the answer to a unit’s questions, they work to find the answer by consulting with other Key Leaders within the District and Council. As a counselor, the commissioner helps units to solve their own problems.

A unit commissioner is someone who willing to serve and willing to be trained as a commissioner. Commissioners usually serve the needs of 2-3 units. Are you willing to serve?

We are always on the looking for new commissioners to help out with these important roles. Several of our units currently do not have unit commissioners assigned to them and really need this resource.

The Commissioner Team is looking for additional members. We currently need more Unit Commissioners in both Tomball and Magnolia. We need Commissioners for Packs, Troops, and Crews. If you are interested in learning more about this Scouting opportunity, please see Wayne Olmstead, Sherry Statler, or Mark Wolfe. We are also looking for people to serve on Cub Scout Roundtable Staff in a variety of functions. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Unit Commissioner or a part of the Roundtable Commissioner Staff, please contact Wayne Olmstead at wo.olmstead@comcast.net.
