Troop 1211 and 211 Onboarding Checklist Rev.
6; Mar 2024
Welcome to Troops 1211 and 211!
Troops 1/211 require a sizeable network of parent/adult volunteers to ensure that all Scouts have a positive experience. Please take
the time to complete these items and introduce yourself to the adult leaders named on this checklist, as this will help you efficiently
learn about our Scouts BSA program and understand how the Troops operate. Most of these contacts are available during Troop
Meetings in the “Flex Space” (the large room adjacent to the gymnasium where the Scouts typically meet). Experience has shown
that youth have a more robust Scouting experience when their parents are actively engaged with the Troop – so please jump right in!
