The commissioner service is looking for men and women
 volunteers who would like to help Scouting by sharing
 their knowledge and experiences with other Scouters.

 Successful Scout units do not just happen. They are made.
 They are made by leaders who are trained, coached, and
 counseled along the way by those who went before. You
 probably had someone help you as you learned how to be
 a Scout leader so you know how important it is to have
 guidance in developing a successful pack, troop, or team.
 You have an opportunity to help other leaders be
 successful by serving as a commissioner. By helping
 leaders build strong units you will be insuring that the
 values of Scouting are brought effectively to more youth.

 "It is the mission of the Crosswinds District
 Commissioner Service to help Scout units provide a
 quality program for their members. In doing so the
 values of Scouting will be brought to more youth more
 effectively."

  Q: How much time is required?
  A: It will vary depending on how much help is needed. A
      minimum of a monthly contact with a unit is expected.

 Q: I don't think I have enough experience. Don't you
      need many years in Scouting to be a commissioner?
 A: While some experience in Scouting is desirable you are
      not expected to be a "super" Scouter with many years in the
      program. A desire to help and strengthen Scouting is more
      important. Training is provided, resource materials are
      available and you will be coached by experienced
      commissioners.

 Q: Will my own unit benefit if I am a commissioner?
  A: Commissioners find that their training and contacts with
       Scouters in other units help them learn more about
       Scouting. The lessons learned through these experiences
       help them provide an even better program in their own
       units.
