Active parents help ensure that troops thrive. Scouts is one of the few activities where parents can enjoy activities with their children, without getting “in their way.” In an active, boy-led troop, adults help facilitate and ensure that the scouts remain safe while enjoying the opportunity to self-manage.
There are a few expectations for all Troop 25 parents:
- Troop WhatsApp Group: At least one parent needs to be in this group, it’s our main form of communication. You’ll be added by one of the Troop Leaders.
- YPT: Troop 25 asks that at least one parent from each family take the SA’s Youth Protection Training program. SA requires YPT for any parents participating on troop outings. Troop 25 asks that one parent from each family complete the one-hour webinar to reinforce the troop’s core value of keeping scouts safe.
- Fundraisers: The troop relies on these events to help give back to our community and to subsidize troop costs. We understand fundraising can be overwhelming, so we’ve committed to doing only one a year – Popcorn Fundraising.
- Support your scout: The SA scouting program has many opportunities for growth built into the program. Many expect scouts to take leadership in communicating with adults and learning life skills. This is a safe place for scouts to learn, fail, and improve.
