Parents in Troop 202
Parents are welcome to participate in Troop 202!  There are a few basic rules.

If you are going to stay overnight with the troop, drive Scouts to an outing, or participate regularly in meetings, you must be registered with BSA.  First, you need to complete some basic training:
     Boy Scout Youth Protection Training (required every 2 years): 
YPT TRAINING
     Diocese Protocol "Safe and Sacred" Training (required every 3 years): 
SAFE&SACRED
     BSA Driver Pledge (required only once): 
DRIVER TRAINING

If you would like to register as a Merit Badge Counselor, contact Sara Gormley (Committee Chair).  The process is easy and there is one additional online orientation course you need to complete.  We need your help since we have a lot of Scouts who want to earn merit badges!

If you want to register as a Committee Member, you'll need to complete the position-specific training for that position before signing up.  A great way to start is by attending our Troop Committee meetings, which are open to all parents.  Committee members serve the troop in a variety of ways, including by sitting on boards of review for rank advancement.

If you are interested in being an Assistant Scoutmaster, you must complete all required training for the position before signing up.  We also ask that you meet with Scott Ziegele (Scoutmaster) to understand the troop philosophy and duties you'll be asked to support.

How can parents get involved?
- Come to troop meetings!
- Participate in boards of review for rank advancement.
- Attend Troop Committee meetings (usually the third Monday night of each month).
- Go on outings!
- Be prepared to work with the other adults in the "Old Goat" patrol.
- Support all boys in the troop, not just your own son!
