Unit Commissioners Needed!


You have been Cubmaster or Scoutmaster or Committee Chair, but now your son has bridged out or aged out of the unit. What do you do now? You love being part of the unit, but you know it's important to step aside and let the parents of active Scouts fill those leadership roles. Yet you possess the knowledge base that units need to succeed. Your next job should be Unit Commissioner. The Unit Commissioner serves as friend, representative, doctor, teacher, and counselor. They assists units and their chartered organizations with the things they have learned from experience: rechartering. running ceremonies, outing planning, training boys and leaders, organizing, recruiting, and more. Take the next step. Become a Unit Commissioner and mentor. Help keep units strong, healthy, happy, rechartered on time, and successful as Centennial Quality Units. If this sounds interesting, email Assistant District Commissioner Thomas Griffin @ thomas@cubpack333.org or call District Executive Jim Sawyer @ 704-636-5030.
