Volunteers Needed

 



We aren't kidding when we say it takes a village to run a Troop our size SUCCESSFULLY and as attrition takes place, people move, leaders leave with their Eagles, we need to continually expand our volunteer resource base. 

Please don't think that you can't help... training is provided for any and every position. Investing in your son and his Unit can make all the difference in the world between a mediocre and a robust Troop.

We need Committee volunteers... specifically:

Outings Chair
This role is currently held by Mike Hunt. The outings chair is responsible for leading the logistical planning for all campouts except summer camp and high adventure. They book the sites and confirm reservations, book rifle/shotgun/archery ranges, keep an updated list of scouts and adults that is used to plug in our monthly campout spreadsheet, create and collect permission forms/money for every campout, collate the binder that we bring on every campout and so on. The time investment for this role is a couple of hours each week, with one week per month requiring added time.

Membership Chair
This role is currently held by Suzanne Sampson. This role is responsible for welcoming new scouts and adults in to the troop and processing all paperwork associated with joining, rechartering each year and overall having what they need from a joining standpoint. Suzanne has also been gracious enough to sell the neckerchiefs and patches needed when joining. This role is at each meeting throughout the year to process items as needed. This position has a heavier load this time of year with recharter and in the spring with crossover season.

Fundraising Chair
This role will be in charge of our fundraising activities throughout the year. Not to run every fundraiser, but orchestrate support for each fundraiser. We have several main fundraisers throughout the year: Spring/Fall Flowers, Camp Cards, Art in the Square and Popcorn.

Adult Training Coordinator
We are in need of someone that can access Scoutbook and provide reporting along with follow-up to make sure all adults have completed the necessary training for their positions.

Assistant Treasurer
Having two deep for different positions provides a lot of value for the troop now and in the future.

These are all very critical positions for our Troop’s success, so please reach out to our Committee Chair, Scott Carpenter to let him know you're ready to help us out!
