Lets Join Troop 58!
STEP 1
Registration and Dues
AOLs crossing over in April pay a flat $75 partial-year fee to the troop which includes partial-year dues (April-August), the crossover campout and the bag of goodies you receive when joining (ie. scout book, class B t-shirt, neckerchief, slide, etc)!
Mark down April 17-19 for the awesome Crossover Campout! All family members are welcome (to camp or just for dinner and the ceremony) and are included in the scout's registration fee!
Please add family member names to the RSVP list so we know how much food to make: CROSSOVER CAMPOUT RSVP
STEP 2
BSA Health Forms
-
Completed forms A & B from link above.
-
Photocopy of your scout’s health insurance card (front and back).
-
Vaccination section filled out w/ copy of vaccination record (or letter attesting no vaccinations).
Details for your Health Form
Unit Leader: David Kunz
Phone: 704-779-4102
Council Name/No: Mecklenburg County Council / 415
Unit No: Boy Troop 58
-
Return all the Health Documents together, stapled if possible.
Part C is only needed if going to summer camp! (requires doctor's appointment)
STEP 3
Behavior & Discipline Policy
It is important to sit with your scout and review the behavior contract & discipline policy with them. This will be an annual attestation. Please print this form, sign and have your scout return it to the troop.
Mr. Kunz will discuss the Behavior & Discipline Policy with Scouts and Parents at one of the early troop meetings.
Parent Pledge
It takes a lot to effectively run Troop 58. We have around 90 scouts and without volunteers we cannot offer a healthy and productive program. While Scouts BSA is led by the scouts, there is plenty of help needed by the parents and other family members. A small bit of support from you will help take pressure off of other leaders. Besides, it's a ton of fun!
Optional STEP 4
Sign up for Summer Camp!
We find that summer camp is the perfect way for new scouts to dive right in and experience the absolute BEST parts of scouting all in one trip!
Parents are welcome (but not required) to come hang out for a few days or all week as well! Ask any adult leader about Camp Woodruff's new Adult Lodge, equipped with all the amenities needed to work remotely with a view of the lake and mountains!
