Troop Parents

The role of parents within Troop 2008 is to be supportive of the Troop's efforts and to provide the atmosphere Scouts need to learn and excel. Parents should try to:

• Read their Scout's handbook, become familiar with the program and understand the purpose and methods of Scouting
• Become a Counselor for at least one Merit Badge (requires registration)
• Serve as drivers for Troop Events, as needed
• Actively follow their Scout's progress (or lack thereof) and offer encouragement when needed
• Show support to both the individual Scout and the Troop by attending all Troop Courts of Honor
• Assist, as requested, in all Troop fund-raisers and other such activities. All such assistance lowers the cost of the program we offer to the Scouts and, therefore, lowers each family's cash outlay for their Scout(s).
• Be aware of the Troop program and annual calendar
