8 Troop 317 Committee Support Each Troop Committee position will have a pool of parents who are responsible for supporting that particular Committee position. The Committee Member could call on his/her pool of parents in times of need. This support may be as simple as coming to a Troop meeting to assist the Committee Member with their tasks (collecting money for campouts, coordinating service projects, etc.) or it may involve sharing a role with a Committee Member. Our desire is that parents would volunteer to serve in an area of interest or giftedness. Please see Chris Clark to volunteer to support a particular Committee Member position.

19 Advancement Advancement falls into two categories: Rank Advancement Merit Badges
20 Rank Advancement Rank Advancement Eagle Life Star 1 st Class 2 nd Class Tenderfoot Scout SCOUT RESPONSIBILITY
21 Rank Advancement Fun Sense of Accomplishment
22 Scoutmaster Conference The final requirement for each rank prior to the Board of Review is a conference between the Scout and the Scoutmaster. It is an opportunity for the Scoutmaster and Scout to review the Scout s progress and set a plan for advancing to the next rank. The Scoutmaster will also discuss with the Scout how he has been showing Scout spirit (living up to the ideals of Scouting and Troop 317) in his everyday life. This is designed to be a time of encouragement and affirmation and is a valuable tool in the Advancement process. Scoutmaster conferences can be conducted by the following individuals: John Morrow Scoutmaster Tony Heringer Regimental Discipler Gregg Orangio Regimental Discipler It is the Scout s responsibility to be prepared, to have his Handbook with him and to arrange for a Scoutmaster Conference.
23 Boards of Review The Board of Review is the final step to advance in rank. It should be scheduled in advance with the Advancement Chairperson Saul Aldana. The Board consists of 3 or more committee members or otherwise involved adults who review the Scout work done, discuss troop experience, and encourage further Scout advancement. It is the responsibility of the Board of Review to verify that the Scout has completed all requirements for the rank, but the Board does not retest the Scout. Adult Association is an important part of Scouting, and both the Scoutmaster Conference and the Board of Review are excellent times for encouragement and affirmation.
24 Merit Badges Merit badges provide an opportunity for a Scout to learn more about things he likes to do as well as try out new things that he might like to do. Many Scouts end up pursuing a career that they were first exposed to through a merit badge. Merit badges are completed under the guidance of a merit badge counselor. The merit badge counselor is an adult volunteer registered with BSA to assist Scouts in their study of the many merit badge subjects offered by BSA. Most counselors are parents of the Scouts in the troop. The first step is for the Scout to obtain a merit badge application (Blue Card) and name of a counselor from the Scoutmaster for the merit badge he wants to earn. The Scout then meets with the counselor to understand the requirements and develop a plan. The Scout completes the requirements and meets with the counselor as needed. It is against the Youth Protection policy of the Boy Scouts of America for a Scout to ever meet with his merit badge counselor alone.
25 Merit Badges Earning merit badges is a necessary process for the completion of only the three(3) advanced ranks in Scouting: Star, Life, and Eagle. Since the ranks of Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class must be earned (in that order) before any work can be done towards the Star, Life, and Eagle ranks, merit badges are not encouraged too early in the Scout's career. Additionally the process can be confusing, intimidating, and distracting to boys and their parents when new to Scouting. However, merit badges may be earned at any time in the boy's Scouting career and will still apply to the achievement of the advanced ranks. Since also there are merit badges available in 100+ subject areas, it may be worthwhile to have boys work on merit badges when opportunities present themselves.
26 Merit Badge Process Scout decides to pursue a Merit Badge Scout requests a Blue Card from the Merit Badge Coordinator, Michael Barker Scout is assigned a Merit Badge Counselor Scout interacts with the Merit Badge Counselor for guidance, instruction, and/or advice while working to complete the Merit Badge requirements (note YPP) Scout completes requirements for the Merit Badge and is signed off by the Merit Badge Counselor Scout receives his Merit Badge at a Troop Meeting and is recognized at the following Court of Honor
27 Courts of Honor Courts of Honor are family gatherings that are generally held twice a year (February and August) by the troop to formally recognize the achievements of troop members. As with all parts of the Boy Scout program, Courts of Honor are planned and run by the boys. It is important to the boys that their families make every effort to attend each Court of Honor.
28 Troop Campouts Three-quarters of Scouting is outing. Troop 317 plans an overnight outing for every month that it meets (January June, August November). Outings are planned by the Patrol Leaders Council during an annual Program Planning Conference. Adult leaders are assigned as campmasters and help the Scouts put together the resources necessary to execute on the annual plan.
29 General Campout Guidelines Youth Protection Training BSA policy states that all adults who accompany our Troop on campouts must have completed Youth Protection Training. YPT is available online and takes about minutes to complete. The Troop Training Coordinator John Connell keeps the records of who has completed the training.
30 General Campout Guidelines Payment and Permission Slips The cost of a campout is dependent upon the activity and the venue. Our intention is to keep the cost between $15-25 per campout. We have two super-trips, one per set, that are an exception to this rule. Cost should never keep a Scout from participating in a campout. Camperships are available on an asneeded basis. Work with your ASM or other Troop leader to pursue this option.
31 General Campout Guidelines Once an activity is decided upon, the campmaster sets the cost and deadline for the campout. Our intention is to take payment (checks only) and permission slips at the same time for the campout two Tuesdays prior to the campout. Depending on the event, we may need payment and permission slips sooner, in order to provide accurate headcounts.
32 General Campout Guidelines Grubmaster If your son is the grubmaster for the patrol for a particular campout (and he WILL be), he is responsible to buy, organize, store, and transport the food for his patrol for the weekend. All food costs are reimbursed by the Troop out of the campout fees. We have a budget of $12 per person per weekend (4 meals Sat am, Sat noon, Sat night, Sun am). Meal plans are prepared by the patrol and are reviewed for completeness and suitability for the campout.
33 Upcoming New Scout Schedule See separate handout
34 Upcoming Campout Request Due to the nature of our upcoming campout (backpacking and hiking May 19-21), we are needing early and firm commitments for numbers. We are also needing a number of parent volunteers to help us coordinate the activities. Please check your and see Gregg Orangio or Chris Clark to volunteer your services for this campout.
