Ways You Can Help

We need everyone's participation to make the best possible Scouting experience for our boys! Please volunteer to help out in any way you can. Are you a good organizer? Do you like teaching? Do you have special skills you can share?

Here are some things that are needed:

Troop Communications

Issue meeting announcements, publicize events, keep everyone "in the loop."

Wednesday Meetings

  • Set up the Old Stone House space
  • Bring supplies or snacks
  • Clean up after meetings
  • Lead a half-hour activity such as a craft project
  • Help lead a 15-minute Scout skills activity

One way to organize this might be to have 3-4 volunteers, one for the first Wednesday of the month, another for the second Wednesday, etc. That way each person runs just one meeting a month.

Camping Trips and Outings

  • Trip coordinator - keep track of bus seats, make site reservations, general organizing
  • Food shopping for trips - list will be provided
  • "Quartermaster" - keep track of troop gear, make sure it is checked in and out and returned in good condition
  • Help with camping skills training on trips
  • Plan or lead activities such as hikes, scavenger hunts, fishing, nature activites
  • Driving

Blue & Gold Dinner

The Blue & Gold Dinner is an annual fundraising and community event. Typically there are invited guests such as political figures and community leaders, a guest of honor or speaker, and Scouting award presentations.

  • Program
  • Sell ad space in program/sponsorships
  • Raffle coordinator
  • Entertainment: Scouts perform or demonstrate skills
  • Guest list

Christmas Tree Sale

  • Volunteer to sell trees
