Parents Cabin!
Parents Participation:
Parents are strongly encouraged to help their scout and the troop by being actively involved. Assisting in merit badges, advancement, assisting on camp outs and volunteering for committee positions are some ways for parents/family to be involved. Scouts BSA is youth led organization, but it takes a village to surround them with outstanding examples of true leadership and teamwork to help them become great citizens.
- Merit Badge Counselors – Take a look at all the Merit badges offered, this takes the least amount of time and gives the most of your gifts back to the Troop by gifting your knowledge. Being a guide, helping the Scouts by answering questions if they have them. Go to the Merit Badge Counselor link for more information on what is available or ask your Advancement Chair if you have any questions on how to become a Merit Badge Counselor!
- Be Committee Member – Virtual meetings held once a month to decide on budget items for the Troop, camps, events, directions, leadership positions, etc. Decisions cannot be voted on if there are not enough members in attendance so feel free to come. This is your chance to be there and add your opinion on the next location for the Summer Camp or High Adventure, or maybe you would like to be there to run for a Committee Position!
- Camp Out Volunteers – Adult volunteers are needed at every camp out. 2 deep leadership is a must and is a strict policy. We cannot lean on the Scoutmasters to be the same adults at every camp out every month/year round, so parents will find that being outdoors and learning to camp alongside these amazing young men, will be being more meaningful for you both.
- Troop Positions – There are multiple positions inside the troop if you are interested in diving in deeper – please do! We are excited for the help.
Troop Communication
2023 Troop is implementing the use of the BAND app to streamline communication between leaders, scouts and parents. We can easily communicate changes in meeting time, location or RSVP for activities and camp outs. This is a private app that can offer a way for us to share information only and protect our youth at the same time. We value the safety of our Scouts and we want to provide a safe and fun experience – communication is key! Please contact webmaster@troop1513.org to for your secure log in.
