Fwd: Commissioner's College - August 27th

by Lone Star District Commissioners

See details below. Registration is at: https://scoutingevent.com/662-CCS_2022 YIS, Tom Subject: Commissioner's College - August 27th Good morning! Registration should be online today. You will notice the classes do not have any options. Last year, there were too many offerings and only 47 people attended. Classes offered are the ones ALL commissioners should know about. If they have already taken the class they can go to another class at the same time. Start time will be 9am to allow our southern most districts travel time. WE WILL NOT MEET ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 25th FOR OUR REGULAR MEETING. We will have a working lunch and ALL attendees will join our cabinet meeting. There is a box lunch offer at registration. Please let all of your commissioners know and encourage them to attend. I’m looking forward to seeing our commissioners in person. Have a great day! Angela Angela Smith C 940-393-3638

District Leadership Changes

by Lone Star District Commissioners

Lone Star Commissioners- As I'm sure most of you are aware from Chris' communications this past week, our DE Chris Bankus put in his notice and this Friday is his last day. Chris is pursing opportunities with his wife in the the Netherlands soon and is moving in the next few weeks. I personally wish him the best of luck. The Council is working on hiring a permanent replacement, but in the meantime Asst. Director of Field Services Ryan Thompson is filling the role until he hires a new DE (anticipated timeline is 2-4 weeks, they are currently reviewing resumes and candidates). There are currently 4 districts without DEs, being that we are in the critical time for recruiting that will be Ryan's main focus with us until we have a new DE assigned and brought up to speed. I had a great meeting with him today, and his goal is to bring a ton of kids to our Packs this fall, and has a solid plan to do so. Couple of things- 1. For August Roundtable we will have Ice Cream Social and we will not have breakouts (Brent/Brian FYI), the Big Rock discussion will be Membership, likely lead by Ryan and Fred. 2. We need to do a high level Red/Yellow/Green unit assessment for Ryan to identify the units biggest needs. I'll leverage both the Commissioner Reports and personal knowledge to pull something together, but I will certainly need consensus on the units that you cover and to fill in the gaps for some of the units - I'll be in touch. Lastly, the Council Commissioner meeting is tonight and I plan on attending - I'll give everyone a summary of it tomorrow.

July Greetings

by Lone Star District Commissioners

Howdy Lone Star Commissioner Corps- I got back this weekend from Summer Camp with my Troop at Camp Alexander, and I'm officially out of "Summer Camp mode" and preparing for the next Scouting year. Troops and Packs should be working on calendars for next year including ramping up for fall recruiting. The council is not in good shape for membership recruiting compared to BSA as a whole or our goals. The Commissioner Corps will play a vital role, help keep the units healthy and recruiting new members. Additionally, I wanted everyone to know recharter will open in October this year. I have the Council Commissioners' meeting this week and I should be able to get so additional details on current happenings. At the August Roundtable on August 11th, we'll have the ice cream social. Encourage everyone to attend. Yours in Scouting, Tom Kisner Lone Star District Commissioner kisner(a)live.com - 682-777-8557
