Boy Scout Troop

Foundation

The Boy Scouts of America was incorporated on February 8, 1910, and chartered by Congress in 1916 to provide an education program for boys and young adults. Boy Scouting was modeled after the Scouting movement founded by Robert S.S. Baden-Powell in England in 1908.

Of course, it would be nearly impossible to administer directly the more than 50,000 registered Boy Scout troops from a centrally located national office. To achieve this, the National Council issues a charter to each local council. The United States and its territories is divided into 327 local councils. Each council has a headquarters city from which it administers the Scouting program within its geographical boundaries. Like the National Council, the local council is led by volunteers, with administration performed by a staff of professional Scouters. The council president is the top volunteer, and the Scout Executive is the top professional.

Troop Committee

The troop committee is the governing body of Troop 570. It has as its members, parents of the Scouts, as well as other interested men and women of the community. The Committee, in consultation with the Scoutmaster and his assistants, approves the Patrol Leader Committee's (PLC) planned activities, administers funds, establishes policy, and is responsible for overseeing the conduct of the troop. The Committee operates under the direction of the committee chairman. Committee members are assigned responsibilities of the various troop functions, such as treasurer, secretary, advancement, transportation, membership, public relations, and others. Included in this website is a guidebook which will help explain the committee's responsibilities (click the Troop Committee "Guidebook" button on the left-side navigation bar). The Troop Committee meets one Monday of each month alongside a regular scout troop meeting. See the calendar for more details. All are welcome to attend.

Adult Scout Leaders

The Scoutmaster is the adult responsible for the image and program of the troop. The Scoutmaster and his Assistant Scoutmasters work directly with the Scouts. The importance of the Scoutmaster's job is reflected in the fact that the quality of his guidance will affect every youth and adult involved in the troop. The Scoutmaster can be male or female, but must be at least 21 years old. The Scoutmaster is appointed by the head of the chartered organization.
