1 Troop 784 Sponsored by First United Methodist Church- Clermont Re-established, August 2007 Our main objective is to ensure the Scouts of Troop 784 realize the fun and adventure of scouting while developing moral and ethical character as well as growing to be leaders in their homes, schools, communities and world. Troop Guidelines Troop 784 will be governed by the rules and regulations of the Boy Scouts of America, the rules and regulations set forth by the Central Florida Council and by these Troop Guidelines. The troop will operate under the patrol method outlined in the various handbooks and manuals produced by the Boy Scouts of America. In cases of conflicts between these guidelines and the rules and regulations of the Boy Scouts of America and the rules and regulations set forth by the Central Florida Council; the official rules and regulations of the Boy Scouts of America and the Central Florida Council shall take precedence over these guidelines. MEETINGS Weekly Troop meetings are held Mondays from 7pm to 8:30 pm at FUMC- Clermont. Observed holidays are the exception to this schedule. Scouts should attend all meetings and activities in proper Scout uniform, and have their Scout Handbook, paper and pencil with them at each activity. Parents are expected to have the Scout at the meeting and activities prior to the beginning of the meeting or activity and to pick him up not later than 10 minutes after the scheduled end of the meeting or activity. SCOUT PARTICIPATION All Scouts registered with the unit are expected to actively participate in the Troop meetings and activities. Lack of participation for six months, with or without an excused absence from the Scoutmaster, will be referred to the Patrol Leaders Conference for a recommendation to the Scoutmaster whether or not to retain the Scout in the Troop. The Troop Committee will make the final decision in the matter. For participation in any Troop-sponsored High Adventure activity, a Scout must have physically attended at least 50% of all Troop meeting and activities during the prior 12 months and be 14 years old. Each rank has a requirement to demonstrate scout spirit. The following are the attendance requirements that are required as a part of demonstrating scout spirit. Since the Scouts last advancement or past 6 months, whichever is less: 1. Attend over 50% of the meetings.* 2. Attend the Courts of Honors. (Or be excused from attendance by the Scoutmaster) 3. In addition to regular Scout meetings, each Scout is required to attend at least one outdoor event per quarter. 4. Support the fundraisers and service projects of the Troop. 5. For leadership, the attendance requirement for each position is listed in the specific job description. * For the 50% requirement, with prior Scoutmaster Approval, 1 other activity season (i.e. Wrestling, Baseball, etc.) may be excluded from the calculation. ADULT/ PARENT PARTICIPATION The troop cannot function without Adult/Parent support. Each family is expected to volunteer in some aspect with the Troop. One adult per family is required to: Hold an adult leadership position (i.e., be a Troop Committee member or a member of a subcommittee), OR Be an active Assistant Scoutmaster, regularly attending meetings and outings Before participating in any boy activities, all adults/parents must first submit to a background check and attend FUMC-Clermont Safe Sanctuary Training : January

All Scouts are expected to maintain appropriate standards of personal hygiene on all outings. The Troop will establish a timeline and communicate when outings should be registered for and paid for. Cost of outings will include camping/activity fees, food purchase, transportation costs, and any required extra fees. Failure to indicate positive desire to participate in the activity and to have the necessary fees required for the activity will result in the Scout being excused from participation. However, if the Scout indicates that he will be participating and is unable to attend, his money will not be refunded. No Scout will be allowed to attend an outing without a signed parental release. At least two registered adults (21 or older) will participate in each Troop activity, including Patrol functions.
