A Scouts BSA Troop committee is essentially the board of directors for a Scouts BSA Troop. This committee is a group of at least three people who assist with supervision and management of a the unit. They help provide the resources that the youth leadership need to carry out their plans. The committee also ensures that a Scoutmaster has the resources and support to provide the program in accordance with BSA policies and regulations.
There must be a minimum of three adults on the committee. They must agree to the principles of the Boy Scouts of America. Members are selected by the chartered organization. The committee is responsible for a variety of tasks.
Regardless of the size of the troop committee, these responsibilities must be performed:
The most efficient way for the committee to run is to assign specific tasks to specific members. A well organized committee supports the youth leaders and makes the Scoutmaster’s job much easier, ensuring that a quality program is delivered to the youth.
Who should take this training?
New Scouts BSA Troop Committee Chairs and Committee Members (it’s also not a bad idea for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters)
Why should I take this training?
Running a Scouts BSA Troop is a little like running a business: there’s a budget and a calendar, there’s money coming in (fundraising and dues), there’s money going out (activities, equipment purchases, registration fees), there’s a “workforce” (your fellow adult volunteers), and there are goals and evaluation of whether you reached those goals. And, of course, you’re doing all this within the unique context of Scouting with some special rules and requirements. Why would you try and do all this without some kind of training?
Troop Committee Challenge Training introduces you to everything you need to know. It won’t answer every single question you have, but it’s a great start. And, it’s available online so you can complete it in 10-minute modules during free time. You can also take the course in person; an advantage of doing it this way is you’ll be able to ask questions of and get feedback from an experienced Scouter who has been in your shoes before.
When and where is this training available?
The online version of Troop Committee Challenge Training is available anytime through the Training section of My.Scouting.org.
What is the cost of this training?
There is no cost if you take Troop Committee Challenge Training online through My.Scouting.org.
