We Value Parental
Involvement
We are all parents and we all have
priorities. Trust us when we say we understand fully how busy schedules
can become. But, we also just happen to believe kids - ours as well
as others - rank pretty high on the priority list.
Thus, the troop encourages parental involvement in some form or fashion
with their Scouts because our experience tells us boys with involved
parents are more likely to be successful in Scouting and in life.
We fully understand when work or other obligation takes us away from a
campout but we have many parents in our troop family to take over so our
kids can go on these outings and adventures.
Does that mean we need you to go camping
and backpacking with us? No, but we'd love having you along.
We can use parents in many roles - such as merit badge counselors or
attending district meetings or teaching skills like first aid or preparing
refreshments for special occasions or helping with fund raisers or
transportation to/from places.
Do
we reject boys whose parents cannot or will not get involved? No,
absolutely not. However, it is disheartening to see unrealized
potential in a boy that only a parent's loving involvement can bring out.
We believe even if only one parent is active, a Scout is very likely to
(in his tenure with us):
- camp 50 or more
nights
- stay in Scouting 4
to 5 years
- attend at least 3 week-long
summer camps
- go on 1
challenging one high adventure trip
- want to earn and
work toward Eagle Scout
- want to earn a
religious award of their faith
- continue on with
Scouting when he turns 18 as an adult leader
- encourages
Scouting for his boys when he becomes a father
