About recruiting guidance pages

These pages are intended to give unit leaders and district and council volunteers a starting point for their recruiting and retention activities.  

Contribute your ideas

Your contributions and ideas are welcome. Please send them to commissioners@gtcscouting.org. 

Contribute your Short Videos

We will also accept pictures and videos, providing you have the proper release for their images and the individuals in the pictures and videos are not identified. The best contributions are action shots and action videos of kids having fun at a scouting event. Sounds of laughter and excitement are great. Videos should not be long and do not have to be edited for use to accept them.   

Your Council Commissioner Service Team supports these pages as we strive to 

  1. Be your single, best resource

  2. Help you to ensure S.A.F.E programs, and

  3. enable significant, sustainable growth
