TROOP 21
BOY SCOUTS OF
AMERICA
PARENT/SCOUT EXPECTATION FORM
The
most basic expectation of a Boy Scout in Troop 21 is that he will conduct
himself according to the Boy Scout Oath and Boy Scout Law at all times. In
addition we expect a Boy Scout to:
WE
EXPECT SCOUTS TO:
1. HAVE
FUN!!!
2. Advance to the rank of
First Class within One year of joining the Troop. This is a reasonable time
period if Scouts are involved with their patrol and Troop and have the support
of their parents.
3. Be in full uniform,(Shirt with complete insignia and
neckerchief and hat. Scout pants or shorts are optional but preferred), at any
Troop event, unless informed otherwise. The uniform is to be worn at all Courts
of Honor, Troop meetings, fund raisers, and field trips. Trips to camp outs
will have the option of Troop 21 T-shirts (a cost of $10). The T-shirts are a
quick and simple way of visually identifying our Scouts while we are camping or
out at the beach etc. A Troop neckerchief can be earned when the Scout has
reached the rank of First Class. Non Scout hats are not considered a part of
the uniform unless it is a Boy Scout hat.
4. Let his leader know if he cannot make it to a Troop activity.
If there is a reason why you cannot attend an activity, please, have your son,
contact this Patrol Leader and/or Scoutmaster beforehand. If the Scout is
required to participate in the “phone tree” call list, we ask that he complete
his assignment to avoid potential loss of communication.
5. Bring his Boy Scout Handbook to all Boy Scout functions unless
told otherwise. The Scout Handbook is also his record for rank advancement.
6. Be responsible for getting his advancement requirements completed,
signed off in his Boy Scout Handbook and recorded in the Troop records. The
Scout will be responsible to keep his personal file updated and present it
during his Scoutmaster conference and Board of Review during his attempt for a
rank advancement.
7. Attend Troop meetings each week, attend activities like:
Highway cleanup, fund raisers, campouts and field trips. This is expected
unless there is a special situation such as illness, family activity, or extra
homework. Remember School homework comes first.
8. Show Scout Spirit by following the Scout Law and Oath in his daily life, show Good Scout appearance and show leadership in order to advance in rank.
9. Bring some form of note taking stationary to record important
up coming events along with other Troop related information.
10. HAVE FUN!!!
