Each Troop in the BSA is organized by a committee of parents and volunteers that are selected by their Chartered Organization. The troop committee is a cross between a board of directors and a parent support group. It sets troop policies and handles administrative functions, such as submitting the advancements records, managing fundraising efforts, approving the annual program and coordinating the adult leadership.
Our scoutmaster and assistant scoutmasters make up the team of adult leaders who guide our youth through the scouting program. The scoutmaster and assistant scoutmasters (ASMs) are responsible for working directly with the Scouts, providing direction, coaching, and support. Scoutmasters and ASMs have three basic roles: Providing the the junior leaders with the tools and skills so they can run the troop, making sure the rules of the BSA and chartered partner are followed, and being a good mentor and positive role model.
