The College of Commissioner Science (CCS) is offering a series of professional educational workshops that will feature diverse hands-on techniques that will enable the participants to fully understand some “best practices” involved in adult volunteer training. The overall outcome of the series of courses is that the participants will become competent, comfortable, and equipped with the latest ‘tools” designed to heighten their knowledge base.
The following sessions are an “extension” offering of the College of Commissioner Science, and are being offered to all commissioners (Unit, District and Council) in the Las Vegas Area Council, whether they are in the bachelor, master, and doctorate programs, and also to those scout leaders not currently in the CCS programs at all. The sessions will be open to all committee members (pack, troop, varsity, or venturing).
The six 5-hours sessions will be offered monthly, on Saturday mornings at the Donald W. Reynolds Scouting Resource Center – 7220 S. Paradise Rd. Las Vegas, NV 89119. You may attend any course or all six. Check-in for the courses begin at 8:00 am with the sessions going from 8:30 am – 1:30 pm. There is no cost to attend the courses.

Team-Building
|
The progression from the first session will take a look at Team Building and Problem Solving that teams face as they work together toward a common and shared goal.
A team is defined a group of people, each of whom possesses particular expertise; each of whom is responsible for making individual decisions; who together hold a common purpose; who meet together to communicate, collaborate, and consolidate knowledge. Therefore, Team Building is an effort to improve the problem-solving ability among team members by working through task and interpersonal issues. This session will explore the dynamics for understanding one’s self and others. Session 2 will be utilizing the Thomas-Kilmann Inventory (TKI), and the Dimensions of Behavior Inventory (DiSC).
