Scout Leadership What is a Boy Run Troop? What are the advantages of a Boy Run Troop? How are we progressing towards this goal? What role do adults have in a Boy Run Troop?

Page 4: Parent’s Meeting

What is a Boy Run Troop?

Boys plan, implement, lead the troop activities Troop Meetings, Troop Outings, PLC, Service

Project, COH, etc. Patrol method Senior Scout leadership may include

handling scout disciplinary actions and crowd control

Page 5: Parent’s Meeting

What are the advantages of a Boy Run Troop?

Boys learn leadership skills, management skills, planning skills, delegation, budgeting, following skills, public speaking, teamwork

Scout “buy-in” to Troop program Scout led is more fun

Page 6: Parent’s Meeting

How are we progressing towards this goal? SPL and ASPL now plan agenda for Troop Meetings, and PLC SPL runs the Troop Meetings, and PLC SPL, ASPL, Troop Guide, PL work the patrol method on all troop

outings. PLC planned the 2002 – 2003 Monthly Outing Program PLC planned the 2002 – 2003 Weekly Troop Meeting Program PLC has assigned a clean-up patrol for each Troop Meeting PLC has resolved the Troop policy for caffeinated drinks on campout

and Usage of Walkman devices on campouts. Scouts plan the majority of our service projects: e.g. Habitat for

Humanity – Ryan Small and Ryan Ellis Scouts plan and run the COH: e.g. Neil Reuter Scouts plan menu and duty roster for all monthly outings Scouts develop grocery list and purchase food for their patrols Scouts do all cooking and cleaning on campouts

Page 7: Parent’s Meeting

What role do adults have in a Boy Run Troop? Adults are a resource for the troop leadership:

MB Program, trip planning, discipline and behavior issues, advice, mentoring, encouragement

Adults ensure physical, spiritual and emotional safety for each scout

Adults coordinate Monthly Outings Adults organize and implement fund raising for the troop Adults keep financial record Adults keep advancement records Adults go on campout and have fun with the scouts Adults organize Uniform Share/Swap programs My favorite line as a Scout master, “Go ask your Patrol Leader”

Youth Protection

BSA has 3 key elements to youth protection program

1) Trained leaders and two-deep leadership2) Background investigation to shield troops

from pedophiles3) Materials to train scouts to:

Recognize Resist Report

Page 13: Parent’s Meeting

Youth Protection Videos

BSA has produced two videos “It Happened to Me (6-9 year olds) “A Time to Tell” (12-14 year olds)

Realistic scenarios but are non-graphic Good job of showing how children can

become victims, how they can resist and what happens when they tell adults

We have reviewed these videos and want to provide a showing to our scouts

Page 14: Parent’s Meeting

Youth Protection Videos

March 18th we will show ‘A Time to Tell” at 8:15 (30 minute video)

Parent must be present for the viewing Videos are available for check-out from our

Troop Library if you would like to preview The video “It happened to me” is highly

recommended if you have younger children This is a difficult subject but is important

information for our scouts to “Be Prepared” for what, sadly, is a real threat today

Page 15: Parent’s Meeting

Scout Patrol” Troop size is about 32 scouts
