How To Get Involved

Adult Roles

Any adult that wants to work with the scouts or go camping with us needs to have taken the current Youth Protection Training (YPT) Course on My.Scouting.Org and need to be a registered leader with the troop.  Other roles have additional position specific training and other requirements as required by the Scouting America and our Troop Bylaws.

Merit Badge Counselors Requirements

There is no cost to become a Merit Badge Counselor. There is a cost for becoming a counselor that the troop may be covering if they are approving it first.

Now What?

Ok, you’re hooked, you’ve caught the scouting bug, you know you want to help out but don’t know what to do next? Well that’s not a problem, getting involved is easy! The first thing to do is to fill out an Adult Application and take the current Youth Protection Training (YPT) Course on My.Scouting.Org. You’ll have to create an account, then click the YPT logo to go to the course. Once you’re done, print out your YPT Certificate and turn everything in to our Membership Coordinator or another Troop Committee Member. We’ll make sure it gets to where in needs to go and that all the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed. If you already have a specific role in mind, just let us know when you turn in your application, otherwise, check out our Adult Roles to see where we could use a hand and what each role entails.
