Troop 377 Parents
Troop 377 offers boys the opportunity to discover interests,
develop skills for use in the outdoors as well as in school and life, while
having fun. This is not an easy task and it is not the purpose of a Scoutmaster.
It is a blend of talents both within the troop and the Scout’s
parents or guardians. It
takes involvement! Adult “trained” leaders, drivers and good
listeners. Leading by example and mentoring is key to our success. It
is OUR Troop and we are proud of its traditions.
Our scouts make the Troop what it is. But sometimes you,
the parent or guardian, has to nudge them along. They, of course, have to
want to go on each and every outing and with a push every now and then they
will participate. Otherwise,
they just do what is minimal to gain advancement. Troop 377 has always
been built on the strength of our Scout and adult support.
Our troop adults need to volunteer for everything, too!
We like it when we have too many adults wanting to gone on an outing. Sometimes
the adults, on the outings, equal the number of the Scouts. This is
fine, as long as we give Scouts space to be with their Troop. Remember, we
are always in the background, just a shadow, but close enough if needed for
guidance and safety.
Adults, when assisting our scouts at a troop meeting, need
to be in full Field uniform; that is, Scout shirt, pants/shorts, socks & belt.
This shows leadership by example. When you are on an outing adults
should consider the Troop activity or scouting oriented T-shirts. Being
half in is being half committed. It’s Give it your all, then
watch your boy grow to a man while developing a multitude of ideas and experiences.
Whether you want to participate as very active outdoor-type
leader or help us keep our accounting straight, we have a place for you.
Try attending the adult leaders meeting and get involved, we all need you!
We welcome your input and thoughts.
Yours in Scouting,
