Select Your College Level

When registering, participants will select the College level they will attend for the day, rather than registering for individual classes:

• Bachelor of Commissioner Science
• Master of Commissioner Science
• Doctorate of Commissioner Science
• Continuing Education

Each level follows its own scheduled curriculum throughout the day. Please review the attached Course Options/Schedule to see the classes offered within each College level.

For those pursuing Commissioner Science degrees, the Bachelor level consists of seven courses; the Master requires seven additional courses; and the Doctorate requires ten additional courses along with additional performance and project requirements.

Already Attended? Come Back!

College of Commissioner Science is not a one-time training experience. Even if you have attended previously, we encourage you to join us again!

Curriculum is updated over time, and returning participants bring valuable experience to classroom conversations. Having experienced Commissioners and volunteers in the room helps create richer discussions, shared problem-solving, and opportunities for everyone to learn from one another.

Whether you are working toward a Commissioner Science degree, continuing your education, or simply looking for new resources and ideas to better support Scouting, there is a place for you at College of Commissioner Science.

Register in advance and join us for a full day of learning, connection, and strengthening Scouting together!
