is the result of good training. The Arrowhead Honor signifies

projects:
- Visit each assigned unit eight or more throughout
the year.
- Fill in and follow up on a Unit Commissioner Work
Sheet for each assigned unit.
- Conduct membership and leadership inventories in
each assigned unit.
- Attend six district commissioner staff meetings
and provide the training topic for one meeting.

in on-time unit re-registration.

Arrowhead Honor Projects
Visit each assigned unit eight or more throughout the
year.
Commissioner Work Sheet. Fill in and
follow up on a Unit Commissioner Work Sheet (Pack, No.
34125A; Troop/Team, No. 34126A; Crew, No. 33660A; Post,
No. 33619A) for each assigned unit. The work sheet is
designed for use after a visit to a unit meeting. Use
the work sheet as a unit analysis and a plan of action
to strengthen any weaknesses discovered. It should not
be used as simply a report of unit weaknesses, but rather
as a guide to determine priorities for commissioner
help.
Membership and Leadership Inventories.
Conduct inventories in each assigned unit. The procedure
is simple as outlined in the section "Charter Renewal."
A unit commissioner must be able to conduct the inventory,
interpret it correctly, and counsel the unit leader
effectively to follow up on information gained from
it.
Staff Meetings. Attend six district
commissioner staff meetings. These meetings keep you
well informed about council and district activities,
provide training opportunities, and give you the opportunity
to join the companionship of men and women who enjoy
doing something worthwhile. See your district commissioner
or district executive to get your training topic assignment.
Charter Renewal. Participate in a
charter renewal meeting. You may or may not conduct
this meeting, depending on the procedure used in your
district. However, you are responsible for the in-time
completion of the charter application whether the
charter review is at a unit committee meeting or a district
coordinated review.
Charter Presentation. Participate
in a charter presentation ceremony. Charter presentations
may be conducted in many different situations, as described
in this field book. The highlight of the ceremony is
the formal presentation of the charter to the head of
the chartered organization by the commissioner. Help
make this a meaningful event for the chartered organization.
Conference. Attend a council commissioner
conference. The commissioner conference is usually held
annually, and is important to your development in
commissioner service.
