Although our Scout program is planned, run and enjoyed by the Scouts with adult supervision, some elements are designed for the family. Troop Courts of Honor, where Scouts received advancement recognition, are designed for parent participation. A family dinner that is catered, by a caterer from the surrounding area, typically precedes the Court of Honor.  Occasionally, there will be a parent-son activity that is organized by the Troop to get all of the parents out and involved.  Parents are encouraged to attend the monthly Troop committee meetings, the Troop Family Campout in November and to volunteer for a Troop Committee position or become a merit badge counselor. Your enthusiastic participation will go far in making our whole program successful.  Boys do not become Eagle Scouts without the support of their parents, families and the community.

The adults who provide supervision, support, and time to make our troop a success are volunteers — most of them with sons in the Troop. They’ll need your help. Both mothers and fathers can give a few hours to provide transportation for a weekend campout or other event. You may be asked to help maintain troop equipment (tents, cook kits, etc.) be a merit badge counselor, or serve in some active leadership position.
