Troop 268 will make every effort to share the responsibilities for overseeing the planning and conduct of troop activities among the troop adult leadership.
In the name of safety, all events and outings require at least two registered Scouters in attendance. One of these is the AiC. The AiC must be at least 21 years of age.
AiC EXPECTATIONS:
Review the calendar to identify activities during the year that you would like to oversee.
Work with the PLC and the SiC of the activity.
Encourage the SiC to communicate regularly with you and the troop.
Encourage and support the SiC as he fulfills his duties.
Work with the PLC, SiC and Activities Chair to make arrangements in advance, as needed (i.e. tour permits, campground reservations, permission slips, etc.)
Consult with the Treasurer, if necessary, regarding event costs.
Help the SiC determine the fee structure and communicate it to the troop.
Create and distribute permission slips.
Help assure that adequate adult leadership (e.g., two-deep) is in place and that proper adult training (e.g. Safe Swim, Safety Afloat, etc.) has taken place.
Attend meetings held by the SiC and activity attendees which include meal planning, shopping, event coordination, meeting time, location, transportation, etc.
Collect permission slips from SiC.
Obtain Tour Permit and Medical Forms from Activities Chair.
Obtain relevant Training Certificates from Training Chair (CPR, Hazardous Weather, etc.).
Oversee the event, assuring that appropriate youth leadership is in place and working properly.
Make every effort to allow the Scouts to run the event, to a reasonable extent.
After the event, document and discuss any ‘performance issues’ with the Scout, as appropriate.
Include praise for any Scout who demonstrated good spirit, leadership, etc.
Share this information with the Scoutmaster and the Advancement Coordinator. This will be valuable information in future coaching sessions.
