Summer Camp Registration, click here ----->
You can now take the required BSA Youth Protection Training and most every other BSA required course and receive certification, all online! Non-registered leaders and parents can be certified and it is Troop 7's policy that any adult going on a camp-out or activity MUST be Youth Protection Trained. Everyone is encouraged to take the training. The BSA Learning Center has opened the Course Management System to everyone, registered leaders, parents, and scouts. Scoutbook is connected and using the system. Simply go to the my.Scouting.org web site to check out all the new courses. Click on the trained icon to go to my.scouting.org.
Scoutmaster
Each troop has an adult leader, the Scoutmaster, who is a volunteer registered with the Boy Scouts of America and trained. The Scoutmaster is responsible for helping the scouts with their planning of the year's program so the scouts are given adequate opportunity to advance in rank and complete merit badges.
Assistant Scoutmasters
A troop will be successful if there are also Assistant Scoutmasters to support the Scoutmaster. The adult leaders should only do those things that the scouts can not do themselves - driving, for example. The boys should be allowed to lead their own troop with only minimal guidance as needed, depending on the maturity and abilities of the scout leaders.
