  2. What is Commissioner Lifesaving • Scouting paramedic • Lifesaving Team • Urgent cases • loss of adult leadership • no unit program • conflict between unit leaders • conflict with Chartered Organization

  3. Watch the Vital Signs

  4. Going into Action • Don’t wait until the next Commissioner Staff Meeting • Establish that Unit as a Priority • Consult with your Assistant District Commissioner or your District Commissioner

  5. Going into Action • Ask Six Basic Questions • What problems must be solved to save this unit? (Distinguish between a real problem and merely a symptom of a problem) • What are alternative strategies for solving the problems and saving the unit? (Outline at least two possible strategies) • Which strategy are you going to try first? Why?

  6. Going into Action • Ask Six Basic Questions • Who will you involve? Who is going to do what? When? • How will you know if the unit is saved? • If all else fails, what is “Plan B”?

  7. Going into Action • Be ENTHUSIASTIC! • Discouraged leaders need to know that their situation is not hopeless • Share a realistic Vision • Demonstrate that you care

  8. Typical “Hurry Cases” • Stopped Breathing • Unit not meeting • Leaders • No Heartbeat • No Leader • Committee Chairman • Appoint someone on a Temporary Basis • Charter Rep • New Leader needs training

  9. Typical “Hurry Cases” • Choking • Unit with No Committee • Contact Charter Rep to explain necessity of a Committee • Parental Involvement is not Optional • Severe Bleeding • Unit with No New Members • May only be a symptom of lack of program • Program Planning • Don’t want boys because not enough leaders

  10. Typical “Hurry Cases” • Poisoning • Unit Conflict with Chartered Organization • Unit belongs to the Organization • Commissioners are mediators • Preventative Medicine • Commissioners should know the Reps as well as the Unit Leaders

  11. Typical “Hurry Cases” • Disorientation • Lack of Training on the part of New Leaders • Fast Start Videotape • May mean you going to training over and over • Explaining how BSA works • Put in touch with past leaders to get the history of the unit

  12. Preventative Medicine • As in all types of “medical” situations, being aware of how units are doing will prevent a virus from becoming a life threatening disease!
