Commissioner Corner

Your district has several different types of commissioners. The District Commissioner is responsible for all of the commissioners within the district and is responsible to the Council Commissioner. He presently has one Assistant District Commissioner who is responsible for half of the Unit Commissioners, the District Commissioner is responsible to the other half of the Unit Commissioners. The District Commissioner is also responsible for the monthly Roundtables. His Roundtable Commissioners and thier staf organize and put on each of the monthly roundtables.

Unit Commissioners

These experienced and trained commissioners are responsible for four or five units within the district. They work with Cub and Boy Scout units clustered within an area. For exampe, Conway has several commissioners. There are commissioners in Socastee, Myrtle Beach, Marion County, North Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach areas.

Unit Commissioners can help with:

Unit Commissioners drop by at meetings, contact your Committee Chair, COR and Cub/Boy Scout Leaders. Uniit Commissioners are another tool to assist you and your troop or pack.

We can always use more Unit Commissioners.

Roundtable Commissioners and thier staff

Every month (not including June or July) the district holds a roundtable. This is a gathering of Cub and Boy Scout leaders with the intent to pass information and do some training. The meetings are at the Centenary United Methodist Church on Hwy 544 and Singleton RidgeRoad, near Conway. For the first twenty minutes we give out information imortant to both Cub and Boy Scout leaders. Things like upcoming activities,training, new policies, and information the council wants all to have.

After this, the Cubs go to one area and the Boy Scouts go to another area. The Cub Round Table Commissioner (Diane Bauer) and her staff divide into Cub and Webelos sessions. The Commissioner and a staff member cover a Cub Scout topic and a roundtable staff member covers a Webelos topic. After a half hour, both groups get together for a general Cub Scout topic or discussion. This is a great time to exchange ideas and resources.

Greg Duckworth is our Boy Scout Roundtable Commissioner. While the Cubs are doing thier thing, Greg and his staff presents a program of interest to the Boy Scout leaders.

There are times when there is a joint Cub and Boy Scout traiining. For example in the fall we generally have a joint training on Youth Protectiion. In the spring we plan on a joint training on CPR and water safety.

The 07-08 Roundtable Schedule is posted below. We plan to keep with the schedule, but sometimes we need to make some changes.
