Role of District Scout Network Commissioner (DSNC)

Role of District Scout Network Commissioner (DSNC)

The District Commissioner will appoint the District Scout Network Commissioner.

The District Scout Network Commissioner is a member of the District Team (and an ex-officio member) who'll work closely with District Explorer Scout Commissioner.

Flexible volunteering could mean that in some Districts it may be appropriate to combine the role of District Explorer Scout Commissioner and District Scout Network Commissioner. The individual will be required to have both roles added to their membership record.
