Southeast Georgia College of Commissioner Science
A Special Training Opportunity for ALL Scouters!!
Coastal Empire Council and Okefenokee Area Council
Welcome from the Dean
Welcome to Southeast Georgia College of Commissioner Science—a joint
venture of the Coastal Empire Council and the Okefenokee Area Council.
This year will mark our first college. It promises to be a super
training and fellowship opportunity for all Scouters-not just
commissioners. We can boast of some new courses, as well as our
outstanding faculty and staff. A welcome would be incomplete without a
THANK YOU from us to you. You make the difference. It’s the
participants who bring an added sparkle to the college. We thank you
for supporting the college, as well as for serving units and youth.
The
reason for the College of Commissioner Science is training. The
academic deans have worked faithfully to recruit a knowledgeable faculty
who can teach effectively. It is our desire that you learn something
you can take home and use in your position. You have a part in this.
Our theme for this college is “Leadership begins with you!” It is our
greatest hope that you will walk away with a renewed spirit and ready to
face that challenge.
Take advantage of this opportunity to make
new friends. Some of Scouting’s finest volunteers wear the
commissioner’s patch. Associations you can make while attending the
college can prove invaluable.
I am looking forward to seeing you at the College.
