Scouters,

One way that Scouting America recognizes the adult volunteers is through awards. Some awards come in the form of "knot patches" to be worn above the left breast pocket of the adult uniform. There are requirements needed to be completed by the scouter for most of these awards. With regards to adult volunteers, our goal as a troop committee is two-fold: 

All scout memberships are now completed online by families. Please watch for emails. Most scouts renew in December, but some scouts renew earlier if they joined Scouting within the previous 3 years. Only adult scouters will be renewed by the Troop. 

With the continued evolution of our Troop and as our Eagle Scouts move on to new challenges, so go our supportive adult leaders and merit badge counselors.

Please bring incomplete merit badge blue cards to Monday's meeting. In the past, merit badges were only tracked in Scoutbook once completed, or if started at summer camp. In an effort to standardize our process and improve our tracking of incomplete merit badges, we want to record progress. This will help us attach a merit badge counselor to each merit badge for each scout, schedule merit badge days, and reprint lost / damaged blue cards.
