George Snyder for Boy Scouts
Vacant for Cub Scouts
The September Boy Scout Roundtable is scheduled for 7:30 PM, at the former Mack World Headquarters.
“Leave No Trace” will be covered in the light of the revised advancement requirements and its relationship to the EDGE model.
We will continue to view some leadership skills as they were presented in the past.
Our spot called “Overheard at Other District meetings” will also be discussed. Discussed? Yes, because you are a part of the program.
You will notice some physical changes at our Roundtable location. The tables and chairs have been removed from the cafeteria. There is some seating on benches one side of the central island. I am going to bring my folding chair. Feel free to bring a chair.
In October, the annual program for future Eagle Scouts, concerning record keeping, Eagle Projects, and Eagle Applications, will be presented by Grant ‘A. J.’ Kotz.

THE COMMISSIONER'S ROLE
We are looking for a few good scouters to support the scouting program within our units. If you are interested, please contact Steve Mehl, your District Commissioner and I will be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns that you may have.
The commissioner is a friend of the unit. Of all their roles, this one is the most important. It springs from the attitude, "I care, I am here to help, what can I do for you?" Caring is the ingredient that makes commissioner service successful. He or she is an advocate of unit needs. A commissioner who makes himself known and accepted now will be called on in future times of trouble.
The commissioner is a representative. The average unit leader is totally occupied in working with kids. Some have little if any contact with the Boy Scouts of America other than a commissioner's visit to their meeting. To them, the commissioner may be the BSA. The commissioner helps represent the ideals, the principles, and the policies of the Scouting movement.
The commissioner is a unit "doctor." In their role as "doctor," they know that prevention is better than a cure, so they try to see that their units make good "health practices" a way of life. When problems arise, and they will even in the best unit, they act quickly. They observe symptoms, diagnose the real ailment, prescribe a remedy, and follow up on the patient.
The commissioner is a teacher. As a commissioner, they will have a wonderful opportunity to participate in the growth of unit leaders by sharing knowledge with them. They teach not just in an academic environment, but where it counts most—as an immediate response to a need to know. That is the best adult learning situation since the lesson is instantly reinforced by practical application of the new knowledge.
The commissioner is a counselor. As a Scouting counselor, they will help units solve their own problems. Counseling is the best role when unit leaders don't recognize a problem and where solutions are not clear-cut. Everyone needs counseling from time to time, even experienced leaders.
