College of Commissioner Science

The College of Commissioner Science is hosted by Minsi Trails Council, Connecticut Yankee Council, Patriots’ Path Council, Northeastern Pennsylvania Council, and Northern New Jersey Council.

What is the College of Commissioner Science?

The College of Commissioner Science (CCS) is designed to support commissioners in strengthening their skills and expanding their knowledge to better serve units. Through structured coursework and shared best practices, participants gain tools that directly benefit packs, troops, crews, ships, and posts.

Who Should Attend?

All commissioners who have completed Commissioner Basic Training are encouraged to attend. CCS provides opportunities to learn new skills, connect with fellow Scouters, and stay current with the latest information. Other Scouting volunteers are also welcome.
