What is PACCS?

PACCS is a group of 8 Councils offering degrees in Commissioner Science including the Bachelor, Master and Doctor of Commissioner Science. Also offered are Post Graduate Courses and Roundtable specific training. The college is generally conducted during the first weekend of June each year.

Goal

To provide a source for Councils to continue to improve Commissioner teams and programs to help Units properly deliver the Scouting program to the youth. One resource to facilitate this is a good solid training program. The PACCS provides that training and attendance by all Commissioners, as well as other interested registered Scouters is encouraged.
