There has been some discussion on social media sites that the Commissioner Onboarding process is becoming optional and Commissioners will be considered “Basic trained” after completing Online or in-person training for their positions. I just noticed earlier this week that this is now reflected on the Scouting.org Commissioner development page. I have several commissioners who have completed all the online training, but are still listed as “untrained” on the district rosters and in the Training manager reports on my.scouting. Does anyone know when the training requirement changes will cross over to those reports?

While “Onboarding” was a requirement to be considered fully trained, there was never a formal method of recording the completion of the Onboarding process in the system.
Once the online modules are all completed (or the in-person/classroom training is properly recorded in Training Manager) a commissioner will show up as trained.
If you still have commissioners who have completed basic training and are still showing as not trained, The most likely cause is that the “in-person” training was never recorded. Second likely are “online modules” still showing as incomplete.
A system entry never was available to record the completion of a commissioner’s onboarding. Once an onboarding requirements (and form) was completed it would then be turned in to the District (or Council) commissioner.
I hope this helps you.

Actually there was always a course code for onboarding at all levels
That’s correct however the online module you are referring to was part of the online Commissioners Basic training and only describes the overall Onboarding process. Not the verification of completion of the Onboarding requirements, which varied depending on the registered commissioner position.
They may have changed it, but the person responsible for helping onboard the new commissioner used to go in and complete the onboarding section for the person.
The other way is to go into training manager and enter the complete for the code there.
