University of Scouting and the College of Commissioner Science
April 12th, 2008 is the date for the University of Scouting
and the College of Commissioner Science.
This day presents a wide variety of 50 minute sessions that will enhance your Scouting knowledge, perfect specific skills, get a grip on finance and organization, run effective meetings, learn new recruiting methods, delegate authority, plan outings, maximize time, and have fun! It takes the tried and true methods of Scouting, and personalizes them for you. Get a fresh perspective on the relationship of the Council to the District, and to your unit. Learn the latest facts and BSA positions directly from the source. See the latest in training aids and literature. Remember, as James E. West said, "The three most important words in Scouting are training, training and training".
Final list of Courses being offered and classroom assignments is now ready for you to download.
Earn your Bachelors or Masters degree, or attend post-grad classes and work towards completing your Doctorate. (See guidelines to obtain the degrees included in the registration packet.) New commissioners will also have an opportunity to attend Commissioner Basic Training.
