They have just announced the 2008 College of Commissioner Science to be presented by the Longhorn Council (Hurst, Texas). It is open to anyone and we actually get folks from outside of our council that attend this training.
Below is what I received via email this morning:
*********************************************************************
Greetings Commissioners,
Learning is a lifetime activity. As commissioners, we must continually
adjust our skills to provide a more valuable service to our units.
Therefore, commissioners should view learning as an important part of
their Scouting lives-every month, every year.
To that end, along with our Council Commissioner, I would like to
encourage you to attend this year's College of Commissioner Science.
College Day is set for Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 and will be held on
the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas.
This will be a full day of learning and fellowship with opportunities
to earn the recognition of a Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate in
Commissioner Science. You will be getting the most up-to-date
information on ways to improve your service to your units. These
informative one-hour classes are packed with material you can use at
your next visit and will be presented by some of the most experienced
commissioners in Longhorn Council.
Information on the courses offered and the various degree requirements
are available in the 2008 catalog, which can be downloaded by visiting
www.longhorncouncil.org/commissioners/default.htm.
I urge you to pre-register for the college using the registration form
found in the catalog online. This will help us to ensure that we have
course curriculum on hand, and lunch reserved for you.
I look forward to seeing you on College Day!
Warmest Regards,
Michael Bay
