About Lesson

Parents that are willing to spend a more time sharing their talents can also register with the Boy Scouts of America to be an Adult Leader.  There are two key types of volunteer adult positions within the Troop:

  • Assistant Scoutmaster:  In this role, you’ll help the Scoutmaster to deliver the Scouts BSA program to our Troop by helping to teach and mentor our Scouts as they rise through the ranks.
  • Committee Member:  Committee Members are parents who support the Troop behind the scenes.  Our Committee Members help plan events, interface with the community, run boards of review, and more.

Some Troop activities can only be attended by Registered Adult leaders (e.g. Summer Camp, High Adventure trips) and these leaders also help us to support the two-deep leadership required by the BSA’s Youth Protection guidelines.  

If you’re interested in becoming an Assistant Scoutmaster or Committee Member, contact the Scoutmaster or Committee Chair.
