College of Commissioner Science

The College of Commissioner Science is an annual supplemental training event for all BSA Commissioners. It’s an excellent opportunity for both new and experienced commissioners to expand their Commissioning skills, build their Scouting network, and share their experiences in Unit Service.

Each year, the Gulf Coast Council’s annual College of Commissioner Science provides classroom training on a broad range of topics relevant for commissioners. Courses are available for: Unit Commissioners, Roundtable Commissioners, Assistant District Commissioners, District Commissioners and Assistant Council Commissioners.

To encourage participants to build on previous learnings, the college is structured in an academic format beginning with Bachelor Courses, followed by Master Courses and then rounding out training with the Doctor of Commissioner Science Degree. Different “Continuing Education” courses are offered each year for commissioners to continue their training beyond these degrees.
