Parent Participation
We need your help! The adult leaders who provide supervision, support and time to make Troop 242 and your son's Scouting experience a success are volunteers. We need your help as a parent. How you support your son's troop depends on your talent and available time. Both mothers and fathers can give a few hours to provide transportation, help maintain troop equipment, help out on a campout, be a merit badge counselor, serve on the troop committee or serve in other leadership positions. Whatever your volunteer role, our troop needs you to keep operating as a quality unit which makes our troop worthy of the fine Scouts it serves. Good parental support consists of all of the following:
- Make sure your son attends as many activities as possible and is ready for them.
- Encourage your son in his Scout advancement.
- Take an active interest in all of his Scouting activities.
- Attend Awards Night.
- Become active in the Troop Committee.
- Support fundraisers as set by the Troop.
Volunteer Opportunities
Helping out on campouts or with fundraisiers, becoming a merit badge counselor, participation at committee meetings, or simply being a driver are just a few of the ways for parents to assist the Leaders and Troop Committee. PLEASE SHARE YOUR TALENTS AND GET INVOLVED. You should receive a Troop Resource Survey when your son joins the Troop. Please fill this out and return it to one of the Leaders. Show your son that you support the program you want him to be involved with. He will appreciate your involvement. The program will be no better than you make it!
