INTRODUCTION

TO EXPLORING

FOR COMMISSIONERS

PREPARED IN COLLABORATION WITH

JEFF SCHWEIGER,

NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA COUNCIL ASSISTANT COUNCIL COMMISSIONERSlide2

National Key 3 Announcement

NOVEMBER 2016

National Commissioner Charles Dahlquist and Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh clarified the purpose of the Commissioner Service to Exploring initiative and charged the field with utilizing Scouting Commissioners as a temporary stop gap while councils develop more comprehensive plans to serve their Exploring units. Here is an excerpt:

“Based on input from the field, the national Key 3 has defined two service models to best serve the needs of local councils. This will help in providing sustainable growth and developing necessary resources for Exploring today and in the future.

The first and most preferred model is to recruit and grow Exploring at the council level by enlisting an Exploring Service Team to provide the necessary resources to grow and support Exploring units. These positions will count in your Journey to Excellence criteria in the same manner as unit-serving commissioners.

If a council doesn’t have the resources to develop a full Exploring Service Team, the alternate model should include utilizing current council and district structures and resources to serve Exploring units. This model could include integrating Exploring into the current district committee and commissioner structure. It also should include an aggressive volunteer recruitment and training plan in order to ensure continuous support to unit service and growth.”Slide3

Online Registration Tools

Exploring has an online registration renewal system similar in concept to Internet

Rechartering. It is, however, a different system, and will be replaced by a new system common with traditional Scouting (date to be determined)Start the process at

www.exploring.org
