Adult Leadership
- All families are asked to share the work of running the troop. There are a variety of tasks that you can help with from helping to plan a trip, to going on a campout, to getting involved in our annual fundraiser. See the committee chair for information on how you can get more involved.
- The troop has a number of documents available to help adult leaders plan the program. These are available in the Directory of Adult Leadership Documents and Resources.
- An adult from each family (and all registered adults) must complete the online Youth Protection Training. Any adults wishing to go on campouts must be registered. You can find out more on the Youth Protection page on scouting.org. You do not have to be a registered member or have a member ID to take Youth Protection training. To take Youth Protection training go to MyScouting.org and create an account. From the MyScouting.org portal, click on E-Learning and take the Youth Protection training.
- We always need adults to be merit badge counselors for the troop. A merit badge counselor helps to advise scouts as they pursue a merit badge. You can be a counselor for a merit badge that matches an area of expertise you may have, but there are also many general merit badges that any adult can advise.
- The Scoutmaster.org website has many helpful resources for adult troop leaders.
