Current Curriculum

The Curriculum Review Team will be updating courses on a regular basis. The most current can be found here:

As facilitators and trainers for this curriculum, we are charged with representing Scouting America and delivering this national material. To stay consistent across the nation, the content of the training should be delivered as designed and written. Therefore, the materials on Scouting America’s Commissioner Development CCS webpage are provided in a “Read-Only” downloadable format to support uniformity of content. This ensures the same message is delivered as we provide a unified approach to unit service. Consistent and Repeatable delivery assures fair reciprocity (the transfer of your class work between colleges of commissioner science in different councils/host groups) in the work toward a degree or award. This has become more important with the option of virtual colleges.


How to open and print the CCS PowerPoint files

For both current and archived.  Each course is in a zip file that is self-contained with all materials—course outline, teaching notes, PowerPoint presentation, and handouts necessary to teach the course. Simply click on the link and download the file.

Administrative Handbook

The College of Commissioner Science is a significant event and requires detailed planning to be successful.

The Administrative Handbook provides local councils with resources for delivering a great College of Commissioner Science.

This new handbook is accessed here: College of Commissioner Science Administrative Handbook and includes information and downloadable resources. The handbook includes a series of documents with hyperlinks to the documents. This format provides commissioners the opportunity to create their own hard copy book, or download it to a device of choice.

The previous Administrative Resources are now obsolete and have been replaced with this handbook.
