Commissioners

The East Carolina Council Commissioner team serves as a vital support network for Scouting units, leaders, and districts. Commissioners are experienced Scouting volunteers who provide guidance, mentorship, and resources to help units succeed in delivering a strong, safe, and sustainable program for youth.

Working behind the scenes and alongside unit leadership, Commissioners help strengthen communication, promote best practices, and connect units with council and district support.
