Troop 1377's Adult Scout Leaders comprise a closely allied group of adults working as a team to help develop the Troop's boys and young men in all aspects of their lives. Because these adults work together for numerous hours to help our youth, many close and lasting friendships develop. If you become involved, expect to join and work with the very finest.
Scout Leaders are essential to the most fundamental aspects of a Boy Scout Troop. They provide the overall framework for the Troop, ensure that the Troop offers a safe and encouraging atmosphere in which Scouts can grow and participate, and set the moral tone of the Troop.
Scout Leaders -- often times called Scouters -- refer to the trained adult leaders of a Scout unit. All Troop 1377 Scout Leaders are volunteers. Together, they spend literally many thousands of hours each year working for the Troop -- the young men called Scouts. Troop 1377 has over 50 registered Scouters -- all contribute in some way. Most Scout Leaders wear uniforms for most Troop functions.
Scout Leaders are primarily responsible for helping to organize the activities of the group and training the youth members through the Scout program. Some work with parents, the district, and other groups and organizations such as the unit's chartering organization.
Others assist with activities and training, take responsibility for administrative tasks such as budgets, managing properties, recruitment, equipment, transportation, and many other roles.
The Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters are responsible for the overall organization and conduct of the youth program, and manage all of the interaction between the youth and the adults. When working with youth in the Troop 1377's Scouting Program, all adults interacting directly with youth in Program activities do so with the direction and approval of the Scoutmaster.
The Committee Chair and Committee members provide the background and administrative support to the Scoutmaster and work under the Scoutmaster's direction when working with the youth. The Committee nominates new Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters. The Committee bears the overall responsibility for the entire Troop organization.
The Chartered Organization Representative (COR) -- the Scouting Coordinator -- holds a dual role. The Scouting Coordinator is the manager from the Chartered Organization, which owns, operates, and is ultimately accountable for the Troop. The COR also participates in Committee and Youth activities to assist the Committee Chair and the Scoutmaster. The COR is responsible for approving all adults who participate in the Troop and approves changes in adult roles.
Overall, in Troop 1377, the Scoutmaster and Assistants, the Committee Chair and Committee members, and the Scouting Coordinator are very closely allied and work as a team for the benefit of the youth.
