Parent Involvement
The assistance of parents is key to the success of our troop. The more a parent is involved, the more the Scout is likely to stay involved and advance in rank. EVERY PARENT’S HELP IS NEEDED.
Parents can assist their individual scout by:
- Attend all troop and committee meetings.
- Reading their Scout’s handbook and understand the purpose and methods of Scouting.
- Be aware of the troop program and annual calendar. Most troop activities are discussed at the meetings and updated in Scoutbook as events change
- Actively follow their Scout’s progress and offer encouragement and a gentle “push” when needed to your son and other members of the troop.
- Show support to your son and the Troop by attending every Court of Honor.
