Welcome to
Resources for All Scouters
The Scouting Trail Is Challenging
But Reaching the Top Is Almost Impossible Without
Good Scout Leaders. These Scout Leaders Deserve the
Best Support We Can Give Them. Help to Deliver the
Promise of Scouting by Learning How to
Serve These Scout Leaders as a Commissioner.
New BSA Websites
Special Article on Internet Safety: We all use a lot of resources on the Internet and so do our volunteers. But are we safe? Take the Internet User Beginner Permit Exam and see how well you score. The test is really a tutorial on basic safe computing practices that you can share with friends.
Dedication: This website is dedicated to the thousands of dedicated Scouters who call themselves Commissioners and give of their time and talents to help Scout Leaders deliver the
best possible Scouting Program to youth members and to the Scout leaders they serve.
It's A Tough Job: Being a commissioner is not an easy job and frequently a pretty misunderstood job. We all know about the stereotypes of a chubby, coffee mug clutching, badge-bedecked
commissioner who doesn't seem to do very much. But is this really so? What does a
commissioner really do? How can he/she do it better? Here you will find the answers to
those questions along with many resources that are designed especially for commissioners,
but can also be used by all Scouters.

Looking for an example of how a Commissioner can help? Here's a great example from a Council newsletter
that is now also a regular feature of the NetCommish. It is a Commissioner's column called "Ask Andy" that gives Scouters great, helpful advice.
Andy writes
"Got a question? Send it to me at
AskAndyBSA@yahoo.com
-be sure to let me know your Scouting
position, town, state, and council!"
Want to reprint a column or part of a column
in your Council newsletter? Write to

We're always delighted to be honored: As the webmaster, I'm happy to see this site honored. But all of the real kudus go the
the wonderful and great Scouting volunteers who have shared so much information here. Without them this site would be only a shadow of what it is now.
