What Parents Need to Do

YOU are the single most important factor that will determine how successful your son will be in Scouting! If you want your son to reap the benefits Scouting offers, you need to join Scouting with your son, either as a uniformed leader or as an active member of the troop committee. Scouts whose parents were actively involved attended more than twice the number of activities and attained more than twice the rank of Scouts with less-involved parents. Being an involved parent takes time and effort, but it's also rewarding and FUN! One of the reasons our troop is so successful is because of the dedication of so many of our parents. Everyone has a talent that can help the Troop, and your involvement is vital to your son as well as to our other Scouts. Current BSA policy requires all adults who have contact with the Scouts to register with the BSA.
