The Troops "F.A.Q." for new Scouts:
How do I earn my "Scout" rank (the first rank in Boy Scouting): - If you have completed requirements for your "Scout" badge, remember to request a "Scoutmaster Conference":
- Talk to the Scoutmaster (Mr Maher) or any of the Assistant Scoutmasters (Mr Karn, or Mr Nagle).
- You can do this at the Thursday night meeting OR on any campout.
- If you'd like to do this on a Thursdsay, please request this at the BEGINNING of the meeting, so the Scoutmaster can find time for your conference. Don't wait 'til 8:30pm!
- If you haven't yet completed requirements for your "Scout" badge, then:
- Look for a senior scout to help you out, and/or to sign off that you have completed the requirements.
- You can do this at the Thursday night meeting OR on any campout.
- Either way:
- Once fully signed-off:
- Be sure to show your book to Mr Lines for recording.
- When are rank patches awarded?
- Although you EARN your rank as soon as your Scoutmaster conference (and -- for future badges -- your Board of Review) are completed, your patch is presented at a "Court of Honor".
- The Troop holds two Courts of Honor per year, usually late Spring and late Fall.
