By virtue of the fact that your son is a member of Troop 165 you as his parent are a member of our the Troop 165 Parents Association. Think of it like a booster club but for scouts and not a sports team. They help the Committee with fundraisers, the Scoutmasters with various duties (shopping for campouts), and generally help make Troop 165 as awesome as it is. We couldn’t do all we do without supportive parents.
