Courses
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 training content 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 ensures fair reciprocity (the transfer of your coursework 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.
