What if my son
is on a sports team?
- Your son
can still be a Boy Scout, even
though he's on a sports team. When
he joins our troop he doesn't have
to give up other activities. We try
to take school and sports schedules
into account when we plan our
schedule. We know that conflicts
will occasionally come up, but your
son will have the choice. He won't
be barred from activities because he
missed a few meetings, or because he
can't be there for the whole day.
What if I want
to make sure my son gets what you promise?
- That's one
of the best parts. Scouting is
designed so that the boys in the
troop decide on the program. If he's
not doing the things he wants to do
in Scouting, he has a voice in those
decisions. Even better, the people
who make sure he gets everything
Scouting offers are parents just
like you, and there's nothing that
says you can't join right along with
your son.
What if I just
don't have the time to be a volunteer?
- Ultimately,
it's up to you to decide how much time
you can devote to the troop. There are a
lot of things parents can do to help
without registering as a Scoutmaster or
committee member. We can always use
transportation to and from our
activities, people to counsel merit
badge subjects, and people to take on
special projects from time to time.
Typically, a Scoutmaster or Assistant
Scoutmaster devotes about 3 hours a week
to the troop. Committee members usually
devote about 4 to 6 hours a month to the
troop. If you provide transportation or
take on a special project, you'll devote
about 2 hours a month. Remember though,
your son will benefit from every minute
you spend helping him, or the troop.
