Are you new to Troop 7?

 Welcome to Troop 7!  Our website is intended to provide you with the information you need to become excited about joining the Troop, and this page gives you the information and access to the forms you need to get you/your son started with us.  We certainly hope that it answers most if not all of your questions.
 
Troop 7 offers a first class youth-leadership and character-building experience through a fun-filled and engaging outdoor-oriented program, for boys who are at least 11 years old or in the latter part of fifth grade.  We pride ourselves on being a 'Scout Led Troop,' in which the young men actually run the program.  The Troop is divided into Patrols of about 8 Scouts each, and each Patrol is led by a Patrol Leader.  The overall Troop is then led by a Senior Patrol Leader, who is elected from among the qualified youth.
 
The Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leaders and other senior youth make up the Patrol Leaders’ Council, or “Green Bar,” which sets the course for Troop meetings and activities.  As Scouts progress within the Troop, they will have an opportunity to become part of the Green Bar.
 
Parents participate in the Troop as either uniformed leaders or as committee members.  The Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters guide and mentor the Scouts as needed, including advising the Green Bar in its planning.  Other parents fill various Committee roles to help in the administration of the Troop “behind the scenes.”  Please browse our Summary of  Adult Volunteer Positions and get involved!  All parents are asked to either become a uniformed leader or take on one or more Committee functions, and all should attend monthly Committee Meetings.  All adults active in the troop must receive Youth Protection Training.  This training is offered by the Theodore Roosevelt Council and online at my.scouting.org

As you consider whether to join the Troop, come visit us at one of our meetings!  New members are always welcome!!
