Unit Service (continued)

Another role you will have is assisting in the selection of new unit leaders. You'll make sure that successful techniques are followed using guidelines that have been designed to help units find quality leaders.

Remember all leaders must be approved by the chartering organization and the Boy Scouts of America.

Then, as new leaders are selected, part of your job is to make sure they take advantage of appropriate training, which is provided by your district.

When working with the unit committee, the key for the unit commissioner is to practice good listening skills, give lots of encouragement and show respect for everyone's ideas.
