DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS GET TRAINED:  During January of each year commissioners as adult scouters receive training in their positions from Capitol Area Council.  This is referred to as Commissioner's College.  All unit and round table commissioners need to plan to register through Capitol Area Council and attend even if for a review.  There is a Bachelors to Doctorate program offered at Commissioner's College.  (Unit Commissioners receive their "basic training" which is offered at various times throughout the year and administered by Capitol Area Council volunteers.  Please register through CAC Capitol Area Council, if needed.)

UNIVERSITY OF SCOUTING:  At the end of January a large gathering of adult scout leaders from all levels meet in a centralized campus setting to attend classes of scouting interest.  This is an excellent time to mingle and learn fresh and new ideas for any level of scouting.  Capitol Area Council sponsors this event and it has been held the past couple of years at St. Edward's University with a beautiful view of Austin.  Please register through CAC Capitol Area Council, if needed.)
