Policies

First and foremost, Troop 219G relies on the policies of Scouts BSA, National Capital Area Council, and the rules of the camp, activity or meeting place. These include but are not limited to:

National Guide to Safe Scouting: https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/gss/
Youth Protection Information: https://www.scouting.org/training/youth-protection/
Council Statement of Values: https://www.ncacbsa.org/statement-of-values/
Prince William District Home Page: https://www.ncacbsa.org/prince-william/
Council-Supported Unit Resources: https://www.ncacbsa.org/unit-resources/
Guide to Scouting Advancement: https://www.scouting.org/resources/guide-to-advancement/
Additional Publications: https://www.scouting.org/programs/scouts-bsa/troop-resources/adult-publications/

In addition, we have found adding some clarity for specific items to be helpful. We have capture that in our Policies and Guidance.

We also take the time to have a refresher of rules prior to summer camp. Which can be found here.

New Scout Guide

In trying to help new scouts and their families get started both in our Troop and with Scouting in general, we have developed a New Scout Guide. This resource is recommended for all scouts joining Troop 219.
