We are always looking for parents to join us in supporting our youth. If you are able to step up to help support the best possible program for our scouts please reach out to Heather Mahon or a Scoutmaster. Only registered adult leaders are able to camp overngiht with the Troop.
Two pathways for volunteering as a "Scouter":
1) Committee
The Committee is the administrative or parent facing side of the Troop.
2) Scoutmaster Corps
The Scoutmaster corps is the youth facing side of the Troop and in charge of the program
For both paths, the following is required:
1) BSA Adult Application
Committee - submit one application B or G
Scoutmaster Corps - please submit both B and G so you are dual registered
For Crew 172 please contact Crew Advisor Bob Smith
2) You'll need to complete BSA SYT and Hazardous Weather Trainigs in my.scouting.org, we need the certificates (This needs to be renewed annually)
3-5) There are 3 required PA volunteer background checks for working with youth, details here: https://www.washingtoncrossingbsa.org/pa-act-15 (These are good for 5 years).
6) Position specific training should be completed online through my.scouting.org.
7) SM/ASM positions require completion of IOLS (Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills) which is a weekend course scheduled multiple times a year.
8) All Registered leaders must also complete Hazardous Weather Training
Scouter Awards:
There are several awards that can be earned during your time as a Scouter. While our focus is on helping our youth provide the best program possible, the requirements for awards like the Scouter's training award provide a framework for it.
Details on Adult Scouter awards can be found here: https://www.scouting.org/training/training-awards-and-recognition/
