  • Administration of Commissioner Service
    34501_cover.indd 1 2/23/09 1:16:06 PM ADMINISTRATION OF COMMISSIONER SERVICE This manual was updated February 2009. It has combined the following three manuals into one: Commissioner Administration of Unit Service, No. 34128; Commissioner Basic Training Manual, No. 33613; and Continuing Education for Commissioners, No. 33615. 34501 ISBN 978-0-8395-4501-9 ©2009 Boy Scouts of America 2009 Printing Welcome to Commissioner Administration You’ve accepted a position as an administrative commissioner. You’re a district commissioner, council commissioner, assistant district commissioner, or assistant council commissioner. The key is understanding your new role and how it’s going to work and how it relates with those unit commissioners you are now supervising. Unit commissioners are in charge of quality control of the unit. As a district commissioner or a council commissioner, you’re in charge of quality control of your commissioners. You need to be their Scout Leader. You need to be their Cubmaster, their Scoutmaster, their Varsity Coach, or their Crew Advisor. You need to make certain they are trained, they are attending their Unit meetings, and they are doing what needs to be done to succeed. You’re not involved at the unit level, you are in charge of your unit of commissioners. This manual will help guide you through the learning of the managerial skills, the diplomatic skills, the technical skills, and the administrative skills to assure your success in this administrative role. Thank you for accepting this most important role in Scouting. Keep on providing quality commissioner service to our youth through support of the units in your district or council.

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.

  • Steve Fossett
    2 0 1 7 Steve Fossett Steve Fossett was an American entrepreneur and traveler best known for circumnavigating the world in a Roziere balloon in 2002. “A Rozière balloon (or simply Rozière) is a type of hybrid balloon that has separate chambers for a non-heated lifting gas (such as hydrogen or helium) as well as for a heated lifting gas (as used in a hot air balloon or Montgolfière). The design was created by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier (1754..1785).” He was an American busi- nessman and a record-setting aviator, sailor, and adventurer. He was the first person to fly solo nonstop around the world in a balloon. He made his fortune in the financial services industry and was best known for many world rec- ords, including five nonstop circumnavigations of the Earth: as a long-distance solo balloonist, as a sailor, and as a solo flight fixed-wing aircraft pilot. He was born in Jackson, Tennessee and grew up in Garden Grove, California, where he graduated from Garden Grove High School. His interest in adventure began early. As a Boy Scout, he grew up climbing the mountains of California, beginning with the San Jacinto Mountains."When I was 12 years old I climbed my first mountain, and I just kept going, taking on more diverse and grander projects." He did not have a natural gift for athletics or team sports, so he focused on activities that required persistence and endurance. His father, an Eagle Scout, encouraged him to pursue these types of adventures and encouraged him to become involved with the Boy Scouts early.

  • Commissioner Service, Our First Hundred Years
    COMMISSIONER SERVICE, OUR FIRST HUNDRED YEARS A research thesis submitted to the College College of Commissioner Science Longhorn Council In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Commissioner Science Degree By Paul N Dreiseszun 2010 INTRODUCTION As we approach the 100th anniversary of Scouting and the Commissioner Service, we need to look back and salute those Scouters that have worn the insignia of the Commissioner. Scouting has changed in those many years. Requirements and uniforms have changed. Council structures and boundaries have been altered. But the role of the Commissioner as Scouting's conduit for unit service remains unchanged. I have been honored to serve as a Unit Commissioner, Assistant District Commissioner, and District Commissioner. My experience is that it can be the most difficult position in Scouting. But it can also be one of the most rewarding jobs in Scouting. As we reach Scouting's centennial, the Commissioner position is getting renewed emphasis and exposure. Funding for non-profits is getting harder to come by resulting in less growth of the professional staffs. The need for more volunteer Commissioners is as great or greater than any time in the past Our role in Scouting will continue to be fundamentally important for the next 100 years. As Commissioners, we must make sure that every unit is offering their boys exactly what is promised to them …, fun, excitement, adventure, and ultimately a quality experience. The Roots of Commissioner Service As Commissioners in the Boy Scouts of America, we are delegated authority and responsibility from the National Council through our "Commission" per the By Laws of the National Council.

  • Nick Saum LTA Resume
    Nicholas M. Saum, PhD Inducted into the U.S. Ballooning Hall of Fame on July 28, 2019 By the Balloon Federation of America at the National Balloon Museum in Indianola, Iowa Nicholas M. Saum, PhD, contributed selflessly to the field of aviation, and aerostation in particular, over the course of a long and colorful career. He set dozens of World and National Records in Altitude, Distance and Duration in a rozier balloon he built himself. He authored the Propane and Fuel Management handbook for the BFA, and contributed to the Balloon Flying Handbook published by the FAA. He served on the launch teams of many of Steve Fossett’s circumglobal balloon attempts, as the crew chief and launch director for the German team on the Chrysler TransAtlantic balloon race, and on Kevin Uliassi’s J. Renee 1 circumglobal attempts. He taught many students how to fly both hot air and gas balloons, and served as an FAA Designated Examiner for balloons. While Nick prided himself on his irascible manner, he was the first to step up to service, to support fellow aeronauts, to research, experiment and publish in the field of safety, and to lend his considerable intellectual prowess to the growing body of knowledge in our sport. As a young man, Nick loved to hunt pheasants and shoot skeet. He regularly participated in fox hunts, and enjoyed riding horses. He enjoyed roller skating, entering dance competitions, and tinkering with carts. After teaching himself Morse Code, Nick obtained a job with the Illinois Central Railroad. Later, in the US Army, he served as a Morse Code Interceptor in Okinawa.

  • February 2015
    www.dartfordscouts.org.uk Issue 17 February 2015 WELCOME Here we are in February and I was hoping to be able to have a clear idea if the size of the district through Compass, but as you are all hopefully aware Compass has be taken offline whilst some security checks are carried out. This has an impact on the census this year. But HQ are working on opening up the Youth Data Upload facility again so we can continue to upload the missing sections. Before Compass was taken offline, about 75% of the district returns had been made. What I need every GSL and section leader to do is prepare their youth data upload if it has not already been done and then keep track of all changes to either the already uploaded data or yet to be uploaded data as I am sure once the system in ready for use again then census window will be quite small. DBS checks Again, this facility is not available at the moment, so again please keep track of where we are and who needs checks. We will post the updates from HQ on the Facebook page for the district, if you are not a Facebook user, you can follow the updates on www.scouts.org.uk/compass Once again thank you for all of your support over the past few months. Leigh Villiers District Commissioner BEAVER NEWS Science Day Saturday 7th February at Oasis Academy. Please can I ask those Colonies attending the morning session to arrive no later than 9.45 am and the afternoon session to arrive no later than 1.45 pm.
