Parents are integral to the success of the Troop
While the Troop is scout-led, the advancement and learning is facilitated through parents’ support of the Troop.
All scout activities require at least 2 registered adults to be present and one of them has to be a female if female youths are involved.
Registered Adults roles:
Troop Committee (TC)
Scoutmasters & Assistant Scout Masters (SM & ASMs)
Merit Badge Counselor (MBC)
You would need to fill out the BSA adult application, complete the SYT online training and make a payment to the FEC in order to become a registered adult.
