New Scouts/Parents

New Scouts/Parents

Welcome to Troop 41!

We are so glad your son has found a home with us!  We are thrilled to each and every one of our first year scouts!  It is very exciting and we are working hard to make sure all new scouts advance as fast as they desire.  The adult patrol advisers have a weekly plan and they are working that plan nicely.  It may seem like chaos, but have faith.  Your new scout will have earned the rank of Scout in no time at all.  However, for this first rank he needs you to do 3 things for/with him.


1) Fill out and turn in a BSA Youth Application to Mrs. Ballman

2) Fill out and turn in Part A and B of the BSA Health Form to Mrs. Fox or Mrs. Stauffer

3) Purchase a Boy Scout Handbook and Complete the exercises (with your son) in the pamphlet at the front of his book
