| The
Scoutmaster (SM) and the Assistant Scoutmasters (ASM) are the most visible of
Troop 32’s adult advisor's. Theirs is the formidable task of ensuring that each and every
Scout derives all the benefit that he can from Scouting. Their job is to see that the aims of
Scouting are the aims of Troop 32 and that the methods of Scouting are faithfully utilized by
Troop 32 to meet those aims. The Scoutmaster and the Assistant Scoutmasters are required
to be trained in Youth Protection and Scoutmaster Fundamentals. The Scoutmaster is the
ranking adult leader. The Scoutmaster is a very unique individual serving in many diverse capacities – ranging
from long-range planning advisor all the way to chief cactus-thorn remover. The Scoutmaster is the “Final
Authority” in Troop operation matters. Troop 32 has long insisted that their Scoutmaster be experienced, well
trained and have a proven track record of service to youth.
The Assistant Scoutmasters serve as additional eyes, ears, arms, legs and backs for the Scoutmaster. The Scoutmaster, the Assistant Scoutmasters enjoy working together to provide a first-rate Scouting Program for the boys of Troop 32. Assistant Scoutmasters will be selected by the Scoutmaster and approved by the Committee Chair. The Scoutmaster will use the following criteria to select ASMs: (1) Be at least 18 years old. (2) Demonstrate Scout Spirit. (3) Comply with Troop 32 and BSA policies and procedures. (4) Have successfully completed the Youth Protection course. (5) Have successfully completed the New Leader Essentials Course. (6) Have successfully completed the Scoutmaster Specifics Course. (7) Have successfully completed the Outdoor Leader Skills Course. (8) Be willing to sign up for a Troop enhancing ticket as assigned by the Scoutmaster. (9) Regularly attend Troop meetings (10) Regularly participate in Troop outings (11) Regularly attend monthly ASM meetings. The Patrol Advisor will be appointed by the Scoutmaster to give overall adult supervision to each Scout Patrol. The Patrol Advisor should be an Assistant Scoutmaster and have successfully completed the required training. The Adult Patrol Advisor should give general direction to the Patrol. They must develop a close relationship with the parents of the Scouts, and promote their active involvement. The Patrol Advisor’s role is critical in helping teach the key Scouting skills. While working with their Patrol they must be aware of the influences they have on the assigned Troop Guide. They must support the Troop Guide as he develops his leadership skills. Notations and initials denoting leadership credit in the Boy Scout Handbook for SPL, ASPL, TG, QM, and special projects are to be completed by the Scoutmaster. All other rank advancement qualifying leadership positions are to be authorized and initialed by the scout’s Patrol Advisor. All advancement requirements are done “by the book.” Shortcuts to Advancement and Merit Badges are not taken. All completed work is “signed off” by the appropriate authority. It should be noted that each requirement for advancement up to First Class are “signed off” by a Scout of First Class or higher, Scout instructors, the Scoutmaster, Assistant, Scoutmasters. Merit Badges are “signed off” by Merit Badge Counselors who are approved by the Troop and the District. Parents cannot evaluate or approve work for their son(s) as they did in Cub Scouting. If your son is in one of your programs, we will ask another approved Scouter to sign off his work. It is up to the Scout to get his requirements “signed off” by the proper approval authority and, upon completion, to take the evidence of his completed work “signed off” to the Advancement Chairperson. |
