Commissioner Week 2021 was a great success!

Ninety-two conference participants converged at the Philmont Training Center the week of June 6-12 for the 2021 edition of Commissioner Week. When you add in faculty members and families, there were a total of 163 attendees.

Here are some highlights:

  • We were able to be together in person!
  • There were seven fantastic week-long conferences. One was brand new and all were refreshed to reflect the most current concepts.
  • The inaugural Commissioner Symposium took place.
  • The mini session series shared focus areas as we adapt to change and facilitated interaction with the National Key 3.
  • The mid-week reception gave everyone the opportunity to connect, interact, and build relationships.
  • Conference participants had the opportunity to spend a full day living the magic of Philmont.
  • There was a meaningful commissioning ceremony for every commissioner in attendance.
  • We were able to have FUN!
Commissioner Week 2022 will be June 5 – 11. Save the date and make plans now to attend!
