We are currently in need of both unit and administrative commissioners to assist with serving the youth of Southern Brevard County!
We currently have 24 commissioners serving the youth of Riverside District. Unit commissioners are volunteer Scouters who provide the primary link between their assigned units and the district and council. Administrative commissioners help enable Unit commissioners to do their jobs effectively.
They carry out this responsibility by periodic visits to unit meetings and other events, contacts with the unit’s leadership, and interactions with the unit committee and charter partner. They then report these contacts, including assessments of the unit’s health, via my.scouting.org.
Unit commissioners have a role in timely annual unit re-chartering, in urging the development and use of the unit service plan and its associated Journey to Excellence performance evaluation, in assuring stable and effective unit leadership, and in passing news, information and other communication back and forth between the council/district and the unit.
We are currently in need of both unit and administrative commissioners to assist with serving the youth of Southern Brevard County!
We invite you to consider joining our commissioner corps! Serve units, serve youth, learn scouting, make a difference!
See you around our campfire!
For more information contact Christopher Ratzel, District Commissioner, christopher.ratzel@icloud.com
Roundtable is a meeting on the third Thursday of every month for Scout leaders and anybody wishing to learn more about Scouting and upcoming events. We highly encourage all Scouting leaders to come. There are breakouts sessions for each level of scouting and a general session for all to attend. The premise is to learn from other scouting leaders that have already been or are going through the program and ask the questions you may have. It is a great opportunity to find out what events are going on in the Council and District for units and their families.
