Join the adventure of Troop 192
To join Troop 192, you must
- be at least 11 years old, or be at least 10 1/2 years old and have earned the Arrow of Light
or
- have completed the fifth grade, or
- but not yet 18 years old
After joining, by the time of your induction into Troop 192, you must
be able to
- repeat the Pledge of Allegiance
- demonstrate the Scout sign, salute, and handshake
- demonstrate tying the square knot (joining knot)
- understand and agree to live by the Scout Oath, the Scout Law,
the motto, the slogan, and the Outdoor Code
- describe the Scout badge
- complete the exercises in the pamphlet in the front of your new
Scout Handbook
- participate in a Scoutmaster conference
If you earned the Arrow of Light, you have mastered most of these
requirements. If you have not earned the Arrow of Light, the Troop
Guide, one of our Scouts, will teach you the joining requirements to
earn your Scout badge. Afterwards, the Troop Guide will help you learn
the Scout skills you will need to earn your Tenderfoot, Second Class,
and First Class badges.
The following items are required before we can register you in Troop 192:
- completed and signed Boy Scout Application
- Class 1/2 Medical Form
- Money for registration (amount depends on the month you register, check with the Scoutmaster)
Please note that summer camp requires a Scout to have had a physical
examination by a doctor within 3 years. If you have had a physical,
please have the doctor fill out the back of the medical form. If not,
please have your parent or guardian fill out the front of the form
anyway and turn it in; it provides us with a medical release for any
troop outing. Before your physical, we can provide you with an
additional form for the doctor to fill out.
In addition to the above items, we also require that your parent or
guardian fill out the following items:
- completed and signed Adult Application (at least one adult per family)
These forms will allow the Troop Committee and the Scouts to know what special
talents your parent or guardian can bring to the Troop and the program.
To become a member of Troop 192, you will need to obtain a Scout shirt and the Boy Scout Handbook.
Last Revised 4/4/99.
