Council Commissioner

The Council Commissioner is part of the Key 3 of a local council. He works with the District Commissioers to help units be successful. He is nominated by the Council Nominating Committee and is elected at the Council Annual Business Meeting. He develops a good working relationship with the Council Scout Executive. We will be posting additional Council Commissioners for the other councils as as we obtain them.
