Commissioner Tools
Commissioner Tools is a new tool available on the new my.Scouting Tools . It’s intended to help commissioners better perform (not change) current functions by improving efficiency and easy access of information. A few examples of what can be done in Commissioner Tools:
- Assign commissioners to units.
- Record contacts. A commissioner is most effective through frequent contact with their units so they can build a friendly and trusting relationship.
- Roundtable administrations. Plan, record attendance, and monitor effectiveness.
- Conduct assessments to help a unit improve. In concert with the Unit Service Plan and Journey to Excellence (JTE), the tool provides the ability to record the results and build action plans that may access and incorporate district, council, and other resources beyond the unit.
- Monitor a unit’s progress. Access unit information.
Not all functionality will be available in the initial release of Commissioner Tools, and we will continue to add enhancements based upon your input.
Before councils can start using Commissioner Tools, there are several documents and forms that must be reviewed and completed to ensure a successful transition to the new tool:
- Frequently Asked Questions
- Commissioner Tools Acronyms and Definitions DOC
- Commissioner Tools PowerPoint presentation. Includes speaker notes that could be used for local training. Note: For the sake of completeness and to promote learning through repetition, there intentionally is some overlap between this presentation and the Unit Service Plan presentation.
