Parent’s Responsibility in the Troop

The adult leadership of this Troop donates a considerable amount of their free time to provide a quality program for your boys. We do this freely and with great enjoyment. However, the number of duties involved with properly running a Boy Scout Troop can at times be considerable. You can help us achieve our goal of running a quality Troop by coming forward to participate at some level in the activities of the Troop. Commitments can be small or large, short-term or longterm, but definitely are encouraged. At the very minimum, we would ask you to be available to provide transportation to and from Scouting events. Ideally, we would like at least one parent of each boy to become a registered member of the Troop. Only registered members of the Troop have a vote in the decision making process.
