As a parent of a new scout, you probably have many questions! Boy
scout troops are organized into patrols, and each patrol has an Assistant Scoutmaster
(ASM) who works directly with that
patrol. If you have questions or concerns about your son's advancement
progress or any other matter, they should be your first contact. For a
current list of patrol ASM's, see the troop organization chart.
But don't stop there! All scout parents and leaders have a lot in
common, and our primary focus is on the boys. Talk to any of the adult
troop leaders, as well as other parents. You'll be surprised how much
you learn about scouting, about boys, and about your son.
Troop rosters of the scouts by rank, patrol and alphabetical listing as
well as the adult members can be found in our troop forum (registration
and login required).
To the left are links to the information contained in the troop handbook
provided to each Scout's parents when they join the troop.
For a really slick, multimedia web site with all kinds of information about
the scouting program in general, check out the National BSA Scouting Parents
web site, at

For a list of items that your scout will need while camping during various
times and events please see the checklists from our
camping page. The Parents Handbook contains much of this information as
well.
