Troop Committee & Leader Meetings:
The troop committee and leaders (Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters) meet two or three times a month on Fridays at 12noon at the VFW. All parents are encouraged to attend at any time. It is the committee’s responsibility to insure that a safe, educational, and fun program is provided for the scouts. To accomplish this they need to secure competent adult leaders and see that they are trained, help secure necessary funding, monitor the program, see that the unit participates in District and Council activities, and maintain good rapport with the VFW, our charter organization.
The purpose of the committee meeting is to support the program that the Patrol Leaders Council develops and which the committee has approved. The committee also:
- Oversees and supports the advancement program
- Oversees and supports the outdoor program
- Assists adult and scout recruiting
- Maintains troop finances and records
- Helps with acquisition and maintenance of troop equipment
