Parents OrientationPage 4 Why We're Here Today Purpose of Scouting –BSA Mission Statement: The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. –BSA Vision Statement: The Boy Scouts of America will prepare every eligible youth in America to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Law. Scout Oath On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. Scout Law A Scout is: Trustworthy, Obedient, Loyal, Cheerful, HelpfulThrifty, Friendly,Brave, Courteous, Clean, and Kind,Reverent.

Parents OrientationPage 5 Why We're Here Today Troop 542's leadership firmly believes in the value of the Scouting program –Promotes strong values –Teaches life skills –Develops leadership qualities –Scouts develop life long friendships Parents need to be involved so that their son can get the most from the program –You need to understand the program –We can use help

Parents OrientationPage 6 Why We're Here Today We currently have 108 scouts and 28 active adults –Seems like a good ratio, but … We'll probably see the number of boys increase a little more this spring The number of Adults will decrease –Constant turnover –11 Don't have sons in the Troop now »Some of us will stay because we love the program »Others are looking for replacements already –4 More have sons who will age out before the end of 2015 –By 2015 a large percentage of the adults who make our troop function could be gone New people with fresh ideas and in better touch with evolving youth culture are important if we want to keep our program relevant

Parents OrientationPage 7 Troop Organization

Parents OrientationPage 8 Council and District Council –Cradle of Liberty –Covers Philadelphia, Montgomery, and Delaware counties District –Baden Powell –Units located in Ambler, Lower Gwynedd, Plymouth, Springfield, Upper Dublin and Whitemarsh townships Troop 542 is in the Baden Powell District of the Cradle of Liberty Council

Parents OrientationPage 9 Youth Leadership In Scouting One of the most valuable aspects of Scouting is learning to be a leader The ranks of Star, Life, Eagle, and Eagle Palms have leadership requirements Junior Leaders doing their jobs is an important key to the success of the program –The troop couldn't function without them –They learn valuable life skills The patrol structure enables this leadership to take place –First year scouts in their own patrols –Move up in the spring of the following year –If there's a problem, let us know, we can make a change

Parents OrientationPage 10 Troop 542 is divided into eight groups of scouts called “Patrols” Two Patrols for First Year Scouts Five Patrols for Experienced Scouts One Patrol for our Senior Leaders Shark Cobra Pine Tree Lightning Python RavenEagle Each patrol has a color code to identify its equipment Scouts wear their patrol patch on their right sleeve Unit 3: Troop Organization Cougar

Parents OrientationPage 12 Eleven Skills Of Leadership 1. Communications 2. Know and use the resources of the group 3. Set the example 4. Represent the group 5. Evaluation 6. Planning 7. Control the group 8. Share leadership 9. Manage learning 10. Counseling 11. Understanding needs and characteristics of group

Parents OrientationPage 13 Every Junior Leader Has a Job Description TROOP QUARTERMASTER Difficulty 7: OBJECTIVE: –The Quartermaster's objective is to make certain that the troop has all the necessary equipment for its activities, and that the equipment is properly used, properly maintained, and doesn't get lost. RESPONSIBILITIES: –The quartermaster is responsible for the troop equipment. He keeps the equipment inventory. When equipment is damaged he tries to get it repaired. When new equipment is needed, he requests permission to buy it and, when authorized, makes the purchase. The quartermaster makes gear is there and in shape to use when needed. –On camping trips the QM arrives early to be sure the proper equipment is loaded. At the site he distributes the equipment to patrols and helps with setup. Throughout the trip he makes sure equipment is well cared for, and performs maintenance as required. As we pack to leave, he inspects patrol gear to be certain everything is in order. –Several times a year the quartermaster organizes work nights to maintain the equipment. –The quartermaster provides a monthly report to the SPL who presents it at the troop committee meeting. QUALIFICATIONS: –Be First Class or higher. –Regular attendance on camping trips. AUTOMOBILE: –Although not required, it is a help if the quartermaster can drive. This makes it easier for him to get to the shed to check things out, and fix things up. It also makes it easier for him to get out to buy things when we need them. COMMITMENT: –I will try to attend all troop activities, and promise not to miss more than 2 camping trips during my year as QM. –I will be at summer camp. –I will devote time at home in addition to time spent at troop functions, to my role as QM. –I will carry out the duties described above.
