B troop T-shirt and a troop hat. T-shirts/Polo’s and troop hats,
troop neckerchiefs/slides are also available for parents to
purchase. Price list attached.
Uniforms
The Scout Class A
uniform is to be worn by all Scouts, the Scoutmaster, and the
Assistant Scoutmaster at the first meeting of the month, Courts of
honor, and on ALL outings. In addition the Class A uniform is
required at Boards of Review, daily flag ceremonies at all campouts,
and certain other special functions, unless the Scoutmaster

Wearing appropriate attire at Scouting functions is important to
meeting the requirement of showing Scout Spirit, which is necessary
for advancement in each rank.
Inappropriate attire will be noted during the Troop meetings, and
may cause a Scout to miss attending a Troop outing.
·
If a boy
bridges over from Cub Scouts, they will be provided at the ceremony
a Boy Scout handbook, a pair of red shoulder loops, troop numbers
for their scout shirt, and a Troop 10 neckerchief and troop slide.
If any of these items are lost, replacements are available for
purchase from the troop.
·
Meetings:
- Troop meetings
are every Tuesday night from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the
West Houston Church of Christ, Recreation Center in rear near basket ball court, Queenston at West Rd. unless otherwise specified.
-
Troop Committee Meetings are held monthly on the 1st
Thursday of the month from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Backyard
West Houston Church of Christ Rec. Center., Queenston at West Rd.
-
Courts of Honor are usually held in August and February.
Troop 10, like all other troops, is a neighborhood organization.
The boy leaders of the troop with the help and guidance of the
parents run it. This is why PARENTS are so important to the
working of the Troop. It is a requirement of Troop 10 that at least
one parent register with the Scout to support the Troop. The fee for
parent registration is $10.00 per adult. Without parental
participation and support, we cannot have a Troop. Without
ACTIVE PARENTS, we cannot have interesting and exciting
activities. The more parents that help out, the less individual
time and effort it takes. Through this guide, we hope to educate
and inform all parents involved with Troop 10 as to the purpose and
methods of Scouting, and the inner workings of Troop 10.
·
Outings
– we generally have one outing a month, usually a campout. See
Calendar of events. The prices for the outings vary depending on
where we go, camp fees, and food cost. This will be share by ALL
attending. Many of the campouts require ADVANCED registration, so
if you commit to going on a campout and are unable to attend you
will be responsible for covering the cost.
·
Fundraising – Fundraising will be done on a VERY limited and as
needed basis, we do not feel it is right to solicit out relatives to
send our kids to camps, etc.
Communication
We encourage
open communication and even accept constructive criticism. We have
a monthly newsletter that helps to keep the parents informed. You
can leave a message with the 24 hour phone service 281-856-2600, it
will page Alice Webb and she will return your call.
Objective
The objective of
the Scouting program is to provide for young men and effective
designed to build desirable qualities of character, to train them in
the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and to develop in
them, personal fitness and leadership. This involves developing a
high degree of self-reliance, a sense of responsibility, a keen
respect for the basic rights of others, the desire and skills to
help others, leadership skills, a desire to be a good citizen of our
community and Nation, and physical, mental, and emotional fitness.
Methods
A number of
methods are used to achieve this objective. Scouts thrive to live
according to these principles of the Scout Oath, Law, Slogan, Motto
and the Outdoor Code. By living according to these principles the
scout demonstrates Scout Spirit. The structure of the troop and the
nature of its activities provide many opportunities for Scouts to
develop leadership skills and to help others. The advancement
program provides opportunities to be recognized for gaining new
knowledge and skills. The objectives of Scouting are achieved in a
program that is fun for the Scouts.
How to Help Your Son
Become a Successful Scout
Here are some
suggestions of things you can do to help make your son a successful
scout:
1.
Help to get him to meetings and outings in the proper
uniform, with his Scout Handbook, and on time. Without attending
the activities, interest and momentum in the Troop are difficult to
maintain.
2.
Attend Troop activities. Parents are always welcomed at any
troop outing or meeting. Attend the periodic Courts of Honor, when
your son receives formal recognition of his advancement and
achievements.
3.
Do not let advancement taper off. When a boy starts, he
needs to pass the early ranks (through First Class) as quickly as
his ability allows him, or his friends of the same peer group will
pass him by. It the boy gets too far behind, he may become dismayed
and drop out.
4.
Periodically inquire to your son as to what he has passed,
has enjoyed, what he is working on, etc. Share your son’s
activities in Boy Scouts.
5.
Read the Scout Handbook for the rank your son is in.
How Parents Can be Involved
Since it is a
requirement of joining Troop 10, that at least one parent must
register as an adult leader, from each registered Scouting family,
what can parents do? Here are some suggestions:
-
Serve as a Scoutmaster or an Assistant.
-
Serve as a member of the Troop Committee.
-
Be a Merit Badge Counselor
-
Provide transportation on outings.
-
Help with troop fundraisers.
-
Get trained.
NOTE: It is a B.S.A.
policy that all registered adults have attended Youth Protection
training (about 2 hours). Many other courses are offered which will
improve your abilities and confidence to be a better adult leader.
Active
Membership
In order to
maintain membership in Troop 10, Scouts must actively participate in
the Patrol and Troop.
Active Membership includes the following:
1.
Participation in Patrol and Troop meetings, including holding
office when elected or appointed.
2.
Paying Patrol dues and Troop Fees.
3.
Participation in Patrol and Troop activities such as
campouts, service projects fundraisers, etc.
4.
Completing advancement requirements.
5.
Practicing the principals of the Scout Law and Scout Oath.
When a Scout does
not actively participate in these activities, he misses
opportunities to work on requirements toward advancement.
Additionally it diminishes the functioning of his patrol and of the
Troop as a whole. Finally, because the number of boys in Troop 10
is limited, inactive Scouts who do not resign deny Scouting to those
boys who want to join the Troop.
A
Scout will be considered inactive if he:
1.
Misses four or more consecutive Patrol or Troop weekly
meetings without notifying the Scoutmaster in advance of a valid
reason; OR
2.
Allows his Patrol dues to become overdue by more than four
weeks and does not pay them in full by the next regular meeting
after being notified that he is in arrears. Dues accrue even though
the Scout does not attend a meeting; OR
3.
Does not pay annual fees at re-charter time; OR
4.
Willfully and repeatedly fails to follow the Scout Law and
Scout Oath.
If a Scout meets
the criteria of being inactive, as defined above, the Scoutmaster
and/or Committee Chairperson will notify him and his parent (s). If
a Scout does not become active within 3 weeks of being notified, his
name will be removed from membership in Troop 10.
Exceptions: A Scout may have personal or other reasons for being
inactive for a period of time, without wishing to resign. The Scout
should discuss this with the Scoutmaster. The Scoutmaster, at his
discretion, may grant the Scout temporary inactive status for a
specific period of time, not normally to be longer than three
months. During this time, the Scout may be removed from his Patrol
roster and any Scout office he holds. Although the Scout is excused
from participation and paying dues, he is still responsible for
paying annual re-charter /registration fees, and must still follow
the Scout Law and the Scout Oath and the Scout Promise. If the
Scout does not become active after his term of temporary inactivity,
he will be withdrawn from membership in the Troop.
Advancement
The ranks of Scouting are Boy Scout (a joining requirement),
Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life and Eagle. The
requirements for these ranks are in the Boy Scout Handbook. The
ranks up to First Class primarily involve learning various skills
and working in the service to others; and the ranks above First
Class involve earning Merit Badges, working in Troop leadership
positions and in service to others. Each Scout’s progress is
recorded in his personal copy of the Handbook. The initiative for
advancement comes from the Scout.
Advancement is a
four-step process: Learning, Testing, Review, and Recognition. The
Scout first studies the requirements either on his own or in a
skills session class held periodically by the troop or at summer or
Winter Camps (learning). He then asks the Scoutmaster or Merit
Badge counselor to work with him on passing the requirements
(testing). Each Scout must show the Scoutmaster or Merit Badge
Counselor that Hs has passed all the requirements, and have his
handbook and/or Merit Badge cards signed. Even though many skills
classes are taught at summer and winter camps, a Scoutmaster must
still test the Scout. Then the Scout meets with his Assistant
Scoutmaster Patrol Advisor to verify that he has shown Scout Spirit
and gets that requirement signed off. Upon completion of all
requirements for each rank, the Scout has a final conference with
the Scoutmaster (Scoutmaster Conference). During the conference,
the Scoutmaster will review the Scout’s activities, achievements,
skills, and leadership; and also determine if he is eligible for a
Board of Review. Upon the successful completion of the Scoutmaster
Conference, the Scout will call or notify the Advancement
Coordinator to request a Board of Review. A panel of three adult
leaders comprises the Board of Review. They will meet with the
Scout to briefly discuss his achievements, activities, and determine
if he is ready to advance in rank. Upon the successful completion
of the Board of Review (review), the Scout’s book is signed and
dated. The new rank will be awarded as soon as possible.
Upon completion,
rank and merit badges are presented to the Scout at the next Court
of Honor.
Troop Organization
Patrols are what make up a Troop. Patrols are generally groupings
of 6-8 Scouts of varying ages and skill levels who work together as
a team. Each patrol elects its own leader and has its own internal
structure. It places a certain amount of responsibility on the
Scout’s shoulders and teaches the Scouts how to handle it. The
patrols allow the Scouts to work in small groups where they can
better related to each other. The organization of the Troop into
patrols, and working under the direction of the patrol leaders is
called the Patrol Method.
The Patrol Method is very important in Scouting. Each Scout should
form the habit of going to his patrol leader with questions and
suggestions. The patrol leaders then relay information to the
Senior Patrol Leader and the PLC. Each Patrol will have at least
one Scoutmaster as an advisor.
The Scoutmaster assigns scouts to patrols. Assignments are made to
maintain a balance between advanced and newer Scouts, a variety of
personality types, and in general to build patrols which function
effectively. However, new Scouts are initially formed into a single
patrol, until they reach the rank of First Class. After these
Scouts achieve the First Class, they are transferred into a regular,
mixed rank, patrol.
Elected Officers (Patrol Leadership Council)
Troop activities
are coordinated and directed by the Senior Patrol Leader (SPL), who
is elected by Scouts registered in the Troop. Likewise, Patrol
activities are coordinated and directed by the Patrol Leader (PL),
who is elected by members of the Patrol. Troop elections are held
approximately every 6 months. A Scout may not hold the same office
for more than two consecutive terms unless no other Scout is
eligible for the office. A Scout must be at least Star rank to be
SPL, and must be at least First Class rank to be a PL.
The elected officers and appointed Troop officers comprise the
Patrol Leadership Council (PLC). The PLC meets at least once a
month to plan future Troop activities and to handle other Troop
business.
Appointed
Officers
The Senior Patrol
Leader appoints a number of officers after consulting with the adult
leaders. These offices included an Assistant Senior Patrol Leader,
a Scribe, Quartermaster, Librarian, Historian, Chaplain’s Aid, and
Bugler. These appointments are based on interest, ability,
participation in Troop activities, and advancement needs.
Likewise, each Patrol Leader appoints a Assistant Patrol leader, a
Scribe, and Yellmaster. Grubmasters and Quartermasters are assigned
for each troop outing.
Officer
Responsibilities
Regular attendance
at Troop meetings and activities is required so that elected and
appointed Troop and Patrol officers can fulfill the responsibilities
of their offices. If an officer cannot be present at a function he
is to appoint another Scout to act in his place and to otherwise see
that the duties of his office are not neglected. However, this does
not relieve him of the planning, organizational, or any other
responsibilities associated with his office. A written job
description is available for each office. These Patrol officers run
the Troop with adult assistance.
Advancement to the
higher ranks requires service in leadership positions for various
periods of time. Meeting these requirements will be based on the
actual leadership demonstrated in the position. That is, when a
Scout holds an office for 6 months he may receive credit for up to 6
months of leadership, depending on what he actually does with that
office.
Leadership Positions
Additional Leadership Positions
Troop Committee
The Troop
Committee consists of the adults who have registered with the Troop
as adult leaders. The Committee Chairperson leads it. Before being
considered for the position of Committee Chairperson, you must be
active in Troop 10 for a minimum of 2 years. The Committee
Chairperson will be a non-voting member of the Committee, unless
their vote is needed to break a tie. The Troop Committee acts as a
“Board of Directors” for the troop, controlling funds, formulating
policies, selecting Scoutmasters, and ensuring that the Scouts and
the Scoutmasters get the kind of support they need to operate a
first-rate Troop. The Committee meets once a month or at special
meetings when required. All parents are encouraged to become active
and may attend any Troop Committee meetings, even if you are not a
regular member. Troop Committee positions include: Chairperson,
Scoutmaster, Treasurer, Secretary, Advancement Coordinator,
Quartermaster, Fund Raising Coordinator, and Telephone Coordinator,
Committee members at large. You MUST be an active participant in
the troop to have a “say or vote”.
Scoutmasters
Scoutmasters are adult leaders approved by the Troop Committee, who
works directly with the boys. Before being considered to be a
Scoutmaster you must be an Assistant Scoutmaster for a minimum of 18
months with Troop 10. You must also be trained in Scoutmaster
Fundamentals. The Scoutmasters train the boys in leadership,
skills, guides them to follow the ideals of Scouting, and helps them
conduct a safe and fun program. Scoutmasters assist in the
planning, attend, and monitor all activities. Scoutmasters receive
training from the Big Cypress District.
Merit Badge
Counselors
All Scouts in the
Troop can work on Merit Badges, which are mini-courses in numerous
subjects, at any time. Merit Badges are necessary for advancement
through the ranks of Star, Life, and Eagle. There are over 100
Merit Badges for the Scouts to earn, but they cannot earn them
without an adult skilled in the particular field, and who is willing
to teach and coach the Scout. All adult Merit Badge Counselors are
required to register with B.S.A. for each badge they wish to
counsel. To meet B.S.A. Youth Protection Guidelines, Merit Badge
classes must have a minimum of two Scouts, or a Scout and an adult
in addition to the Merit Badge Counselor. Counselors should follow
the guidelines and procedures presented in the B.S.A. pamphlet
entitled “Merit Badge Counseling” (no. 6517).
A parent may serve
as their own son’s Merit Badge Counselor ONLY if the following
conditions are met:
·
The
parent is registered with B.S.A. to counsel that Merit Badge.
·
The
Merit Badge is publicly offered to other Scouts in the Troop.
·
All work
sessions for the Merit Badge are available to the other Scouts
working on it.
The initiative for
obtaining a Merit Badge rests with the Scout. The steps to earn a
Merit Badge is:
1.
Obtain the approval of a Scoutmaster to begin work on a
particular badge.
2.
Contact a Merit Badge Counselor from Troop’s approved list
for the badge chosen, and follow the counselor’s directions.
3.
Meet with the counselor as necessary to fulfill the
requirements.
4.
After meeting all requirements, have the Merit Badge
Counselor and Scoutmaster sign the Merit Badge card.
5.
Present the Merit Badge card to the Advancement Coordinator.
6.
Receive the Merit Badge at the next Court of Honor.
Troop Activities
Troop activities
consist of program planning, meetings, campouts, service projects,
and fund raising. Scouts must participate actively in all these
activities in order to derive the maximum benefit from Scouting.
Program Planning
Each Scout
participates in the annual Program Planning process by submitting
ideas for the next year’s activities to the PLC through his elected
representative, the Patrol Leader. This is done once a year,
usually in August at a special PLC called the Annual Planning
Session, which is guided by the SPL with assistance from the
Scoutmasters. The SPL will present the planned activities to the
Committee for approval.
Meetings
Troop meetings are
held every Wednesday 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the West Houston Church of Christ Rec. Center. Everyone will
help set up and clean up after the meetings.
Outings
The Troop strives to
have one outing per month, and most of these are one or two night
campouts. At the Troop meeting three weeks before a campout Scouts
sign-up and is given permission slips, which are to be returned at
the Troop Meeting two weeks prior to the campout. Also parents,
please indicate on the permission slip whether you can drive,
whether you plan to attend, and whether you can be a telephone
contact. Patrol Leaders will contact Patrol members two weeks
before the campout for a commitment about whether they plan to
attend. This information is required in advance for transportation
purposes and to make program arrangements and for planning purposes.
At Troop meetings prior to the campout, each patrol plans its meals,
and makes a duty roster. One Scout is assigned the job of
Grubmaster, preferably a Scout who needs First Class cooking req.
#4; if no one attending needs req. #4; the position will be on a
rotation basis. The Grubmaster goes shopping with the adults and
helps with the groceries.
Items that Scouts are NOT permitted to bring on campouts are: sheath
knives, flammable liquids, fireworks, firearms, slingshots, radios,
electronic games, personal food and drink (e.g. soda and candy).
Every summer the Troop attends a weeklong summer camp usually in
Texas. They prepare their own meals or eat in the dining hall. A
variety of activities are available at summer camp, and include
overnight-backpacking trips, skills classes for rank advancement;
Merit Badge classes; aquatics; field sports (archery, rifle and
shotgun); nature and environmental science. The PLC and Troop
Committee will decide camps outside Texas and winter camp on an as
needed basis.
Equipment (Troop, Patrol & Personal)
The Troop has its
own camping gear and trailer to transport it. Presently, Troop gear
includes tents, lanterns, and axes, First Aid Kit. Each patrol is
assigned tents, chuck boxes containing patrol gear, including a
stove, and cooking utensils, a griddle, and propane tree. The
patrol is responsible for keeping this gear in good condition and
each Scout does his share to keep the general Troop gear in good
condition. If a Scout or Patrol loses camping gear, or treats the
gear negligently causing damage, those responsible Patrols,
individuals and their parents will be financially liable for repair
or replacement of the gear. See “A Parents Guide to now we’ve
joined what do I need to purchase for my Scout” attachment. Each
Scout brings his own sleeping bag, eating utensils
(knife/fork/spoon), and cook kit (plate/bowl/cup), personal first
aid kit, personal sewing kit, change (s) of clothes, and personal
items (medicine, pocket knife, Boy Scout Handbook, soap, towel,
poncho, toothbrush/paste, etc.) All personal stuff must be carried
in a back pack NO FOOTLOCKERS for regular campouts.
Service Time
Periodically Scouts
will spend time in the service to others. Service time promotes a
positive scouting experience and develops an awareness of duty to
others. Service time may be earned in many ways. Also, Scouts are
encouraged to earn service time in multiple functions and more than
the minimum number of hours. This effort demonstrates Scout
Spirit. Most service time also fulfills requirements for various
rank hours. This effort demonstrates Scout Spirit. Most service
time also fulfills requirements for various rank advancements and
Merit Badges. Service time cannot include time spent in the
promotion of the Troop, the Scouting Program (e.g. working at Scout
Fair, or selling Scout Fair Tickets), that includes fundraising
activities.
Service time is divided into two categories; Scouting Sponsored
Service Projects and Service to the General Community. Examples of
Scouting Sponsored Service Projects are: Scouting for Food, Tiger
Day, Webelos Do Your Best, Pushmobile, Webelos Twilight Camp, Day
Camp, and Cub-O-Ree. Examples of Service to the Community are:
projects at a church, school, neighborhood, community, and the Eagle
badge project. Projects of Service to the General Community must be
approved in advance by the Scoutmaster.
First Class Scouts who are working towards their Star rank, must
earn a minimum six hours of service time to advance. Star Class
Scouts, who are working towards their Life rank, must also earn a
minimum of six hours of service time to advance. Of the six hours
of service time required for these two rank advancements, it is
required that Scouts earn a minimum of three hours of service time
from the category Service to the General Community.
The Troop has a Service Coordinator who will work with the
Advancement Coordinator and Scoutmaster to serve as liaison between
the Scouts, community, and the Scouting offices. See the
Advancements Coordinator for a list of approved service time
projects, or to confirm if you son’s idea for a service time is
acceptable.
Fund Raising
Fund Raising will be
done on an as needed basis. We do not believe in continual
fundraisers, nor do we believe it is our parent or neighbor’s
responsibility to send our boys to camp.
Transportation
All parents are
needed to help in transportation. Upon joining the Troop, all
parents are required to turn in a Transportation Registration Form,
providing vehicle and insurance information. Parents who are unable
to assist with transportation will be called on to help in other
ways.
In addition to the
rules and regulations set by the Boy Scouts of America (copy
available). Troop 10 has adopted the following policies regarding
transportation to and from Troop events.
Vehicles and
Distribution of Scouts
Boy Scouts will be
transported in parent vehicles, separate from equipment, when
possible. Trucks will be used to transport equipment only.
Passengers may ride in a truck’s cab only. Effort will be made to
minimize the number of vehicles used. Vehicles must not be
overcrowded and all passengers and drivers must use individual seat
belts. If only one passenger can ride in a vehicle, that passenger
must be another adult or the son of the driver to fulfill the B.S.A.
requirement for Youth Protection. Boy Scouts will ALWAYS travel in
their CLASS A uniform to and from the event.
Designated
Telephone Contact
A designated
person will notify parents of any changes in estimated arrival,
after notification from the function leader. That designated
contact person will be indicated on the bottom of the event
permission slip.
Travel
While in route ,
drivers will follow a common route to stay in proximity to each
other. VEHICLES MUST OBSERVE THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. The following
measures will be in effect to facilitate this effort:
·
Prior to departure, each
driver will receive a map of the designated route. This map will
identify refueling and rest room stops, and any designated points
for regrouping or eating.
·
Drivers will carry
medical forms for each passenger. These are to be returned to the
Scoutmaster upon arrival at the destination or drop-off point, so
that they may be transferred to the next driver or returned to the
Troop files.
·
In the event of an
accident, insurance carried by the owner of the vehicle is the
primary applicable insurance.
Transportation
Planning
Scouts and adults
planning to attend a weekend activity must commit by the Wednesday
Troop meeting two weeks prior to the activity. This is important to
determine the number of drivers required and to obtain a Tour Permit
from the downtown Scout Office. Patrol Leaders report the
names/phone numbers of those attending from their patrol to the
Scoutmaster at the Wednesday Troop meeting prior to the activity.
If a parent has
committed to be a driver for an activity, and subsequently is unable
to drive, it is his/her responsibility to find a qualified
replacement from the list of Troop 10 parents and to inform the
Scoutmaster of this change. Please call if you need the names of
eligible drivers.
We have tried to
put together a valuable package of information, however, we may have
left something out that is important to you. If so, listed below
are some key people and ways to get in touch with them. Please feel
free to contact us.
