STEP 1
Registration and Dues
AOLs crossing over in March pay a flat $75 partial-year fee to the troop. In addition to partial-year dues (March-August), this fee also covers the crossover campout and the bag of goodies you get there (ie. scout book, class B t-shirt, neckerchief, slide, etc)!
Registration Syncronization! The Pack has been renewing & billing scouts w/ national on a rotating basis depending on when you joined, whereas the Troop registers and bills ALL scouts in September. To accommodate for this difference, we ask that any of you who's Pack registration expires between now & July renew thru the national login:
From September forward, all of you will be on the regular Troop registration schedule and will pay your dues only once each September!
We have multiple financial assistance options available...if you need assistance, please reach out to David Kunz, Scoutmaster, for a confidential and judgement free conversation.
STEP 2
BSA Health Form - Parts A & B
-
Photocopy of your scout’s health card (front and back)
-
Vaccination section filled out and 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.
BSA Health Form - Part C
Part C is only needed if going to summer camp! (requires doctor's appointment)
-
Schedule your appointment with your Family Doctor and complete Part C of the Health Form before May of this year
-
After you have Part C completed, you will need to return a photocopy of all the documents listed above plus Part C in duplicate.
-
NOTE: You only need to return Part C and duplicates of everything above after your have met with your Family Doctor. Return all other documents ASAP (Part A & B, Vaccination Record and Health Card Photocopy).
-
In our experience, scheduling your Family Doctor visit as close to June as you can works very well.
STEP 3
Review and Sign Troop 58 Discipline Policy
It is important to sit with your scout and review the 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 Discipline Policy with Scouts and Parents at one of the early troop meetings.
STEP 4
Review and Sign Troop 58 Behavior Contract
It is important to sit with your scout and review the Behavior Contract with them. This will be an annual attestation. Please print this form, sign and have your scout return it to Scoutmaster Kunz. Mr. Kunz will discuss the Behavior Contract with Scouts and Parents at one of the early troop meetings.
STEP 5
Review and Sign Troop 58 Parents Pledge
It takes a lot to effectively run Troop 58. Following Crossover, we will 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. Please reach out to us for more information and we will also schedule time very soon to review opportunities. Please print this form, sign and return to the troop.
STEP 6
