Troop 13

1. Structure

• We will establish and maintain a clear leadership structure using the Patrol Method from Senior Patrol Leader to new scout

​

2. Scoutmaster/Assistant Scoutmaster Involvement

• The Scoutmaster is responsible for training.

• Only trained Scoutmasters may be directly involved in scout leadership training, troop meetings, and camping programs.

• The Scoutmaster selects and trains all Assistant Scoutmasters, and has the authority to remove an adult leader from direct involvement with the boys.

​

3. Non-Scoutmaster Involvement

• Adults must not do anything that the Scouts can do themselves.

• Involvement is from the sidelines, not through interaction with Scouts.

• Adults should not interfere with the functioning of boy leaders, even if they make mistakes.

• We will leverage parent professional backgrounds, skills and strengths.

​

4. Commitment

• A High level of commitment from Scouts is expected.

• Scouts are accountable for the success of their Scouting careers.

• Scouts are expected to attend troop meetings and campouts.

• Advancement to the rank of Eagle is a difficult and challenging endeavor, reflective of extraordinary effort and character development.
