What is Commissioner Service?

The Boy Scouts of America Commissioner Service plays a pivotal role in ensuring the success and sustainability of Scouting programs across communities. Commissioners serve as vital links between local Scouting units and the larger BSA organization, providing guidance, support, and resources to unit leaders and other volunteers. Commissioners are mentors, advocates, and problem-solvers, fostering a culture of excellence and adherence to Scouting values. By offering personalized assistance and regular communication, Commissioners help units navigate challenges, maintain quality standards, and implement best practices. This support system is crucial for both new and established units, fostering a sense of belonging and commitment among scout leaders and members.
