- · Troop 429 is a “Boy-Run” Troop.
- · Troop 429 believes strongly that development of personal responsibility and leadership skills are key elements of the scouting experience. By allowing the boys to take charge of themselves and their troop to the extent that they are able, we give them the opportunity to acquire those skills.
- · Troop 429 is a Parent-supported Troop. Troop 429 encourages parents of all scouts to be involved in the troop, whether as adult leaders or in a support capacity. A high quality program requires a tremendous degree of parental support. By pooling their skills, resources and energy, parents contribute to the success of the program and the growth of their sons. They also develop a sense of community, and have an opportunity to develop leadership skills of their own.
- · The policies outlined and attached below are intended to bring this philosophy into action in the everyday running of the troop. Fundamentally, the intent is to compliment standing BSA policy (as in the Guide to Safe Scouting, the Scoutmaster’s Handbook and the Troop Committee Guidebook publications) and to provide guidelines for the smooth running of the Troop.
