Troop Rules

Return to Troop Guidelines, Goals, Rules and Responsibilities

1. NO Alcoholic beverages or Fireworks are allowed at any Scout activity.

2. DRUGS are prohibited except for specific medical purposes.

   a) The Adult leaders must be made aware of any medication a scout is required to take and if needed the adult leader may hold the drug for the Scout until needed by the Scout.

3. The Scout Troop does not permit SMOKING.

   The Above Three Rules Have a ZERO TOLERANCE. Any scout found breaking the above rules would be required to leave immediately whatever event or activity they are attending regardless of the time of day or the distance. The Scout will not be permitted to return to the Troop until the Scoutmaster and the Scout meet to decide what course of action or troop discipline is to be taken.
   Parents, that means that at any time of day or night, if your son breaks the above rules you will get a call to come and pick them up at once. No excuses will be accepted.

4. There will be NO rough housing, Damage, or Excessive Noise in the church or on the Church grounds.

5. There will be no FIGHTING tolerated at any Scout Activity. Conflicts that arise need to be settled peacefully by working through your Patrol Leaders and Senior Patrol Leader. If a resolution cannot be reached bring it to an adult leader to be solved.

6. Repeated swearing or foul language will not be permitted.

7. Capping down or putting down or taunting another Scout or Scouts verbally along with talking back to an adult is not acceptable behavior and will not be tolerated.

8. Scouts are to keep their hands to themselves unless they are engaged in a sport or activity in which personal contact must occur to conduct the activity. That means no flipping of hats, no pushing around, and no harassing grabs. Scouts must respect each other’s personal space.

9. A Scout will not litter at any activity, and will clean up even if they did not cause the litter.

   A Scout who violates rules 4,5,6,7,8, & 9 will be given the following warnings. You will be given one verbal warning that you have broken a troop rule and will be asked politely not to do it again. If you choose to ignore this warning you will be given a second warning, be removed from whatever activity you are doing and asked to take a seat away from the group until you can control yourself and rejoin the rest of the group. If you ignore the second warning you will be asked to leave the event or activity immediately and a phone call will be placed to your parents or guardian. It will be up to the discretion of the adult leader in charge as to whether or not you will be sent home. PARENTS THIS INCLUDES ALL ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING SUMMER CAMP.

   Parents, these rules may seem excessive, but they are needed to maintain discipline, order and most of all, safety for the other Scouts in the Troop.

10. All Drivers transporting Scouts on activities must be 21 years of age or older and have a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance.

11. Parental permission slips are going to be required for all trips, campouts summer camps etc, off of church property.

12. Radios, Tape Players, CD/DVD Players, or any other electronic devices are not allowed at Scout activities, during program hours, unless agreed to by the adult leaders. Use of Cell phones will not be allowed at any scout activity during any hours. If caught with an unauthorized device it will be held by the adult leaders and returned after the activity.

13. We will demonstrate Good Sportsmanship.

14. We will respect the rights and property of the Troop, individuals in the Troop, and any person or organization outside of the Troop.

15. Adult leaders and Adult volunteers are to be shown proper respect at all times.

16. All Scouts agree to live according to the Boy Scout Oath and Law and follow the Outdoor Code at all times.

17. Parents: Boy Scouts is supposed to be a boy run organization as much as it should be. The adults are there as advisors, counselors, drivers etc. As adult leaders we try to follow this guideline as much as possible.
