New Knot?

[captainron14]

I have heard that National is putting out a new knot for Commissioner Service.

Anyone have news/info on this?

Requirements?

Reason for this knot coming out at this time? (If it really is)

Thanks,

It's news to me. I'm afraid I don't know anything about it.

The Distinguished Commissioners Knot is hardly new. Be around atleast 5-10 years.

 

And considered its existance, and that commissioners can earn the Scouter's Key, what would the purpose of another new knot for commissioner service be?

Here is the text of the email from another list:

This is refering to a NEW knot.

Why? I do not know.

I was hoping that someone would have more info than the orginal source.

Thanks

For you knot hounds...(or is that knot heads?)

 

Just received word that National has approved a new

knot, for those with a doctorate in commissioner

science. I don't have the requirements, just know

that it has been approved, and that the requirements

are such that it can be earned and worn even by folks

in councils without a college of commissioner science.

With National being a bit learly about new knots, my general attitude with all this is 'I'll believe it when I see something formal from National'.

I'd like to see Den Chiefs who get awarded the red white and blue rope receive a knot to wear as an adult. Heck some Den Chiefs work way harder than AOL receipients.

 

I have the AOL knot.

 

I've worked with some great kids who are den chiefs.

I never was one.

Maybe the new knot your thinking of is the one earned by giving all those speaches????

"...We are launching tonight a national BSA speakers bank. Members of the speakers bank will be nominated by Scout executives and our goal will be to have a minimum of 1,000 speakers recruited into the program by the end of this year. I am also delighted to announce our four charter members of this group

President Rick Cronk.

Commissioner Don Belcher.

Rabbi Peter Hyman.

And former national commissioner, Earl Graves.

 

Not a bad start. All tools, templates, and resources for these speakers have been developed by Edelman Worldwide and will be available online. A special Web site has been created for speakers to access programs and materials and to record where they have spoken and what issues they may have encountered and what additional help they may need. We are even going to have a speakers bank patch. And if you are really good, there may even be a new square knot in our future."

Some people think anything can be fixed by throwing a square knot at it. I think a bowline would be more appropriate...Commissioner service needs to be rescued...or let it drown and forget it.
