The troop committee meets monthly as scheduled by the Committee Chair, with a targeted time limit of 1 hour. The meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at TBD. All committee members are expected to attend. All parents are encouraged to attend at any time, and are eligible to vote on issues.
It is the committee's responsibility to insure that a safe, educational, and fun program is provided for the scouts. To accomplish this they need to secure competent adult leaders and see that they are trained, help secure necessary funding, monitor the program, see that the unit participates in District and Council activities, and maintain good rapport with our sponsor and charter organization.
The purpose of the committee meeting is to support the program that the PLC develops and which the committee has approved. The committee also:
- Oversees and supports the advancement program
- Oversees and supports the outdoor program
- Assists adult and scout recruiting
- Maintains troop finances and records
- Helps with acquisition and maintenance of troop equipment
