New Scouts, BSA units, charter renewals, summer camps with a completely different camp population than ever before … and that’s just the start of a list.

We know being a Commissioner is tough, taxing work and the one thing we all share is we are all Commissioners, doing specialized work to make Scouting better every day.  There is much we need to know and new information coming our way every day.

So – let’s get together for the first time ever in Area 8 to hear and share knowledge, both new and old.

Announcing...the Area 8 Commissioner Conference. 

This one-day, intensive updates will help answer your questions on:

COMMISSIONER TOOLS AND HOW TO USE THE INFORMATION EFFECTIVELY:  List of reports and demonstration on those reports to improve commissioner administration. (Presentation by Region Six Analytics Commissioner)
