BOY SCOUT TROOP 29 COMMITTEE ORGANIZATION

ARNDT'S LUTHERAN CHURCH
EASTON, PA.

The Scouts in our troop are responsible for their own program through proper planning and use of their resources. One of the resources available to them is their Parents and other adults. They rely on us to provide transportation, equipment, fund-raising opportunities, a Scoutmaster and assistants, and Patrol Advisors. These adults form the Troop Committee.

A fully staffed and functioning Troop Committee can help the Troop to run an effective full program without any one person having to do all the work. To keep the Troop committee fully staffed we need to add new people as our existing members move on in life with their sons.

Adult Leader Training is required for all adults who want to be involved in the program on a weekly basis as an Assistant Scoutmaster. The training is available to all adults and we encourage all committee members to attend the next available Scout Leader Basic Training Program. This training gives you the basic skills and methods of Boy Scouting, which will give you a good understanding of the total program.

Parents are encouraged to register in the Troop as Committee Members, or participate on Sub-committees or on our Board of Review. The registration fee for adults joining the Troop is $15.00 a year. Registered adults will receive the Scouting magazine quarterly and will be covered by the Minsi Trails Council insurance while on Troop outings.

The Troop Committee provides transportation, equipment, fund raising opportunities, Assistant Scoutmasters, guidance and advice to the Scoutmaster and the Leadership Corps. The Committee may create ad Hoc Committees and special assignments as necessary.

Troop Program Planning Meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday night of each month at Arndt’s Church. Troop Committee Meetings are held the 3rd Thursday night of each month at Arndt’s Church at 7:15 p.m. All Troop Leaders and Adults are invited to the Troop Committee Meeting.
