Joining - Completion of the joining requirements (Boy Scout Handbook - Chapter 1 gives the new Scout the right to wear the Scout badge on his
uniform. Through attendance and active participation in the Scouting program, he will be able to earn ranks as he strives toward the ultimate goal of
Eagle Scout.
(Note: “Scout” is not a rank. Becoming a “Boy Scout” is a joining requirement, not a rank.)
Patrol Member - A new Scout is assigned to a patrol based on the number of new Scouts joining the Troop and the current Patrols’ membership.
New patrols (including New Scout Patrol) may be created and other patrols reorganized to accommodate the growing needs of the Troop.
Meetings - The Scout attends two patrol meetings and three to four Troop meetings each month. Attendance is a must for learning new skills and
demonstrating Scout Spirit. In the case of absence, the Scout must contact his Patrol Leader in advance of the meeting and let him know the reason
for his absence.
Outings - The new Troop member must complete the joining requirements (which earn him the right to wear the Scout badge) before he can
