Concurrent with my service to Scouting, I have been an avid collector of Scouting memorabilia with a particular interest in commissioner insignia. Over the years, I've acquired some information on the history of commissioner service and some documentation on various areas of commissioner insignia, but have not found a single document which covers both the historical aspects of such insignia while describing and identifying all the commissioner insignia in all program areas - Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Exploring, Venturing, and the various roundtables. This project does that and provides a pictorial identification guide to all the insignia as well as other uniform badges that recognize commissioners for tenure or service.

    Scoutspeak 101 November 2020

    Washington Crossing Council Scout-Speak 101 A guide to help you understand the various terms, phrases, program components and acronyms that are used in the BSA program. Organization COUNCIL – A council is a voluntary association of citizens, including representatives of organizations that are chartered by the Boy Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within a geographic area. There are four major functions involved in achieving the purposes of a council: membership, fund development, program, and unit service. These four functions and all other responsibilities are accomplished in each council in a manner that is consistent with local conditions and circumstances. DISTRICT – Unlike councils, which establish policies and programs, districts carry out the programs and policies of the council in their respective territories. For the purpose of unit service, program administration, membership, and fund development, the council territory is divided geographically into several districts, as determined by the executive board. The supervision of Scouting in each district is exercised by the council through a district committee consisting of all council members residing within the district, chartered organization representatives, and district members at large. KEY 3 - The Council Key 3 consists of the Council President, Council Commissioner, and Scout Executive. They meet informally as necessary to ensure proper coordination of the work of the council. They furnish liaisons between the commissioner staff and the various committees of the council. They may also provide proposals and recommendations to, but in no way usurp the authority of, the executive board or executive committee of the board. November 20, 2020 Page 1 of 16 Council Support The thinking here is that Scouts and volunteers see only 20 percent of what councils provide to members.
