Parent’s Role <strong>Scout</strong>ing <strong>of</strong>fers a great opportunity for parents to participate along with their <strong>Scout</strong><br />

in the many educational and outdoor activities planned. Although, not required,<br />

parents are welcome to almost all events. Parental participation is critical to the<br />

success <strong>of</strong> the program but also does come with some overall guidelines:<br />

All adult leaders must be registered with the <strong>Boy</strong> <strong><strong>Scout</strong>s</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong><br />

All adult leaders must complete a youth protection program <strong>of</strong>fered once a<br />

year by the <strong>Troop</strong><br />

Parents are not allowed to serve as merit badge counselors for their child<br />

unless asked by a member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Troop</strong> Committee. Counselors must <strong>of</strong>fer<br />

instruction to the entire <strong>Troop</strong><br />

Parent’s should encourage <strong><strong>Scout</strong>s</strong> to coordinate all communications and<br />

planning activities with the <strong>Troop</strong> and its leaders and are strongly<br />

discouraged from contacting the leaders directly. The <strong><strong>Scout</strong>s</strong> must take<br />

ownership <strong>of</strong> their involvement in the <strong>Troop</strong>.<br />

Parents should encourage the <strong><strong>Scout</strong>s</strong> to find answers to their questions using<br />

this Guide, the website, and their Patrol leaders.<br />

Please check the website for all available updates prior to contacting<br />

leaders.<br />

Please do not ask <strong>Troop</strong> Leaders to <strong>of</strong>fer make-up events if your son was<br />

unable to attend. The size <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Troop</strong> prohibits make-up sessions.<br />

Popcorn Sales Our <strong>Troop</strong> participates in the annual Popcorn sales as organized by the BSA. As<br />

part <strong>of</strong> this program, each <strong>Scout</strong> may participate individually and at planned group<br />

“show-n-sell” events. This fundraiser contributes a significant amount <strong>of</strong> money to<br />

<strong>Troop</strong> operations and we also make a nice contribution to a local charity. Please<br />

review the key Popcorn dates in August – November <strong>of</strong> each year. The <strong>Troop</strong><br />

pr<strong>of</strong>its will be divided 40% to the <strong>Scout</strong> for activities, 40% to the <strong>Troop</strong>, and 20%<br />

to a local charity.<br />
