For the Parents

The transition from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts can be difficult for many parents. Not only is it hard for many of us to awaken to the fact that our boys are turning into young adults and can be very independant, but the Scouting program is all about the Scouts running their Troop and working towards the rank of "Eagle" with little to no help of their parents.

Now don't misunderstand that last paragraph as parents are greatly & desperately needed within any Boy Scout Troop as "Adult Leaders". The role that parents play is not that of "Dad & Mom" while at a Troop Activity. The role parents take on is "Guide & Mentor" to all Scouts within the Troop. When at a meeting, we are "Leaders" and step up only as needed by the Scouts.

This page is set up to help you, the parents, better understand how the Scouting program is run. It can also be of assistance to the Scouts as they themselves enter the program. We, the Committee of Troop 627, hope that this page helps you to better understand the Scouting program.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email the Scoutmaster or Committee Chairman as we are happy to help!

If you have any suggestions, comments or questions regarding the Troop website, please email the webmaster at webmaster.
