A district may have one or more Assistant District Commissioners. Each is responsible for an assigned share of the units in the district and the unit commissioners who serve those units. Assistant District Commissioners are often assigned a geographic area of the district. They work closely with the District Commissioner and District Executive.
Major responsibilities include:
Many Unit Commissioners serve more than one type of unit. One might serve a Cub Scout pack, a Scouts BSA troop, Venturing crew, Sea Scout ship, or an Explorer post in the same chartered organization. Other Unit Commissioners may serve only packs, only troops, only crews, only ships, or only posts or clubs. Check with your commissioner leader or coach to see how your district is organized. The Unit Commissioner is a Scouting generalist whose passionate overriding mission in Scouting is to help units better serve more youth through scouting.
Specific responsibilities include just 5 things. Listed under each are suggested methods for accomplishing the responsibility.
Roundtable Commissioners are responsible for the monthly Roundtable in the district.
Roundtables are monthly meetings where scout leaders from all units attend. When skillfully executed, the roundtable experience will inspire, motivate, and enable unit leaders to provide a stronger program for their youth.
There are two main purposes for Roundtables. First, to provide the skill to do – skills, techniques, information, program ideas – the know-how that makes for a successful unit. And second; to provide unit leadership with the will to do – the morale, enthusiasm, inspiration, and vision that periodically renews the desire to serve youth.
