    Duty Rosters, and modern scouting

    in New to Scouting?

    Posted

    Our Troop just went to Philmont last summer.  Duty rosters are an essential part of the experience.  We practiced the use of duty rosters during our 2 years of training and it really improves camp setup, clean-up, cooking and tear down.  Every Scout (and Scouter) knows their role for the day.

    If you haven’t used them, Google a template and try them at an upcoming camp.

    how do you work together with your charter organization?

    Jon -

    Our old process - no interaction with the chartered org, no one ever met the Chartered org Executive Officer, our COR was not familiar with responsibilities a chartered organization had, new adult volunteers were not signed off by Chartered organization or COR.


    Our new process (much improved!) - we followed the BSA process.  I asked for an active Executive Officer; made the COR aware of their responsibilities to review and approve all adult volunteers, met for the first time with our new Executive Officer (he is an Eagle Scout from 1970's and happy he was asked to help out) ... the Scouts are now actively doing service projects for the chartered organization (they just put in a community garden for the church -- the church was extremely happy for the help!).

    I'd really recommend to build a bridge with your Chartered organization.  If you read on these forums or the BSA charters that they sign, they really should be actively involved, they own the Troop unless you have a facilities use only agreement.  The responsibilities go beyond just the building meeting space - they should be actively approving your adult volunteers, reviewing the Troop financials, supporting the training program for the adult volunteers, etc.
