Patrols have been reconfigured. The patrol corners page will be updated in
the near future. One of the
scoutmaster’s goals this year is to emphasize the Boy Scout tenet of a youth
lead troop. This will require
increased participation at the patrol level.
Patrols are designed to be self-contained units that operate as a team
and may even meet separately from the whole troop for the purpose of planning
or fun. Every troop meeting will have
segments such as game time which will be the responsibility of a patrol. Part of the Class A uniform is the patrol
patch. Each patrol is expected to pick
a patrol name and each member of that patrol is responsible for getting their
patrol patch. It is easiest to name
your patrol after one of the standard BSA patrol names since patches
for these names can be acquired at the scout service office in Lockport. Novel patrol names may be adopted too but
getting a patrol patch takes more effort.
An example is our Duct Tape patrol.
This patrol ordered its patches from ClassB.com.
You may want to take a look at their website for some interesting
ideas. ClassB.com worked with BSA to
make sure their designs conformed to BSA’s patrol patch regulations. 6/7/10: 2.
All adults involved in any troop
activities must take Youth Protection Training every year. The training is available online
and is very good. If you are a
registered adult use your ID number found on your BSA ID Card to make sure
your testing is put into your adult records. 3.
Other Training: There are other online training courses
beyond youth training. Check them out here.
Adults trekking at summer camp this year should take the Safety Afloat and the
Severe Weather training. 10/3/09: 4. Please
make sure you have a binder for all your merit badges. They are a necessary record to have when
you go for your eagle board of review.
They may be the only record that you earned those badges. They are the only record that the counselor
signed. 5. Here
is the worksheet
for the Computer Merit Badge from Mr. Brounscheidel. Weekly Scout Meetings During the summer all meetings will
be held in the scout building behind the Wrights Corners fire hall. Full Class
B uniforms including Troop 40 hats must be worn to these meetings. Once fall starts we change over to Full Class
A uniforms and eventually start meeting in the firehall. Handbooks must be brought to each
meeting. Parents:
Please come to our committee meetings.
The troop committee is the governing body of the troop. We want your input. Please watch the calendars for the
committee meetings. |
