Helping Out with the Troop

Please come back to this link often as new positions open up all the time.

Assistant Scout Masters 

  • Being an ASM directly improves the troop’s ability to provide quality and safe guidance to scouts.
    • First-Year ASM
      • This ASM’s focus is the first year or low rank scouts.  Their objective is to track progress and work with the Scoutmaster to fit rank requirements into event planning.
    • At least 3 ASMs at every meeting. 
      • This ensures 2 ASMs to assist the Scoutmaster (SM) in keeping the meeting running smoothly, and 1 ASM to focus on signing off on requirements.  If you see less than 4 SM/ASMs at a meeting, we are stretched too thin.
    • At least 4 ASMs at every campout/event.
      •  If we have less than a 1 to 5 ASM/SM to Scout ratio on an event sign-up, we are spread too thin!  .
