At least twice each year, the commissioner should do a collaborative, detailed assessment with the unit to determine its strengths and needs. Using the appropriate unit assessment form, the commissioner and the unit Key 3 complete the assessment together. The form is divided into the components used in the Journey to Excellence scorecard. From this assessment, a Unit Service Plan can be developed.
Commissioner Assessment Forms. These blank detailed assessment forms taken from Commissioner Tools may be used as paper information-capture sheets if a commissioner does not want to work on the computer live while contacting a unit. Alternatively, they may be used by a commissioner who does not have access to a computer, and a “commissioner friend” will enter the information. They may also be used when collaborating with a unit to complete the assessment of a unit’s strengths and needs.
Unit Assessment Forms. These blank assessment forms taken from Commissioner Tools may be given to a unit leader to complete prior to the Collaborative Assessment being completed by the unit Key 3 and the unit commissioner. Ideally, the unit should complete these within my.scouting.org when they are sent to them by the commissioner; however, they may be used as a worksheet prior to entry in my.scouting.org. They may also be used when collaborating with a unit to complete the assessment of a unit’s strengths and needs.
Scenarios for Unit Assessments. These scenarios can be used for training commissioners in how to do a unit assessment.
Reports, generated monthly, summarize the contact activity from Commissioner Tools by district within councils. At the end of the report, area and region results are summarized.
