January 02, 2012
Welcome to the 2012 Troop 32 annual membership renewal or recharter. Every year we are all required to renew
our membership in Boy Scouts of America. Because of many changes by the BSA, we are changing our procedures
and the dues to renew your membership in the Troop and BSA.
To renew your membership, please
submit the following as soon as possible at a Troop meeting, PLC or prior to the
Troop meeting on March 6th, 2012.
It looks like a lot, but it will take only about 20 minutes, unless you need to update your YPT.
Dues. Will remain the same as last year. Overall, the Committee believes that the fees are reasonable for the value returned. The fee structure is designed to cover all non-outing based costs associated with running the Troop, share the cost among all users, and manage the costs of providing quality programming in this boy-led Troop. We have instituted a new budgeting methodology, which will help us plan better in the future and better manage our expenses. It will also help ensure that outing, summer camp, high adventure, and similar fees will be set at levels that will target those activities to break even, which has not always been the case.

Training.The BSA now requires every registered adult to have current Youth Protection Training (YPT).
YPT is well worth the 20-minute investment. You will find it at
www.myscouting.org. If you need your BSA membership number, please contact Carl Barber at
clbarber1@verizon.net
or Barbara Braack at braack5@att.net.
For your son’s safety, every adult attending an outing, except family outings, must be registered
and their YPT must be current.
The BSA also asks, and every scout deserves, every Assistant Scoutmaster (ASM) and Troop Committee member to be fully trained.
For ASMs, that means completing the following:
For Committee members, being
fully trained means completing the following:
All Committee members and ASMs in
T32 are expected to be fully trained. Committee members are also encouraged to
have ASM training. If you have already completed the training, just attach
copies of the online report from
www.myscouting.org
and copies of applicable in-person training programs with your membership
renewal form.
If you are not fully trained yet,
you will find the experience well worth the investment in your son and for your
understanding of Scouting. Please update your records with the Troop by emailing
your progress to Bob Smith at
smithbsa@charter.net.
Unit Leader (Scoutmaster) Specifics information is available on the Longhorn Council website. Check for the next IOLS course on Longhorn’s training website. You can register for
these courses at
www.mustang-district.org.
You do not have to be an ASM or
Troop Committee Member to register as an adult Scouter. Every parent is welcome
to register and to participate in Troop activities. YPT is required even if you
don’t register as an ASM or Troop Committee Member.
Medical Forms. In accordance with BSA policy,
every Scout and Scouter must provide completed medical forms. This is about
safety for everyone -- both Scouts and adults. You can find the forms on the
“Forms” page on the Troop 32 website, or by clicking on the following link:
Medical form.
The BSA has changed the form again; so please make sure you use the 2011 form,
which includes pages for the high adventure bases.
Only Parts A and B will be required at
this time. Anyone attending summer camp, high adventure, and other Troop high
adventure treks will likely have to complete other parts of the form too.
Because the Troop is incorporating more outdoor adventures into our program,
Part C might be required next year. The Troop needs three (3) copies of the
medical forms, including copies of the front and back of the insurance card.
Membership Renewal Form.
Please go to the “Forms” page on the
Troop 32 website, or by clicking on the following link:
Renewal Form to find and complete the form. You can type in the data there.
Adults will have the opportunity to consider ways to assist to the Troop. Most
of the parents already do, and we thank you very much for your service. Every
contribution to the quality of the Troop benefits both your son and all the
people he and his buddies will influence now and for generations to come.
Troop Resource Survey. Your son’s Troop is
constantly in need of volunteer support. We hope you will consider volunteering
your time in service to your son, the Troop, and the betterment of society.
Please complete the survey go to the “Forms” page on the Troop 32 website, or by
clicking on the following link:
Resource Survey Form to find and complete the form. Thank you for your time
