The Unknown Scouter2020/03/09

Welcome, new Scouts and Scouters!

We are glad that you decided to join us for loads of fun (and learning that you won't even notice until you realize you know it.)   You're part of the family - you're one of us - and we always take care of family.


We certainly don't want you to ever feel lost: that's no fun.  So, we have some documentation on a Google Drive that's accessible here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-DAjazLhVx6U-wuYKCiSBRK9NvN2CN8c


There's a short explanation of what's out there here: http://www.scouts324.com/Troop_Forms.html

We'll do our best to keep that stuff all updated.  Right now, we're in the midst of a review/rework of our Troop policies document, for example.  If you ever have a question, we're here to help.  I'm going to try to get a roster of Scouters on this website, including photos of faces and a brief description of what each of us does.  Or what we think we do. 


If you're coming in from a Pack, take a breath and observe for a bit.  The chaos can be overwhelming. The leadership structure in a Troop is very different from what you've seen in a pack.  Almost all of the positions that were held by adults in a Pack are held by the youth in a Troop. 

Then, jump in and join us. We've got something for everyone to do, but you need to start by completing the Youth Protection Training.  Getting registered helps, too, but find your happy place first - you might think you want to train as an Assistant Scoutmaster or Quartermaster, only to find that you really enjoy being on the Troop Committee.  Many of our Committee Members attend the camping trips - some are trained as both ASMs and Committee Members - and some don't. That's all fine.


Above all, make memories with your youth, and facilitate others to do the same.  You'll be glad you did.
