The Troop Committee is a group of adults, generally parents of the Scouts, who support the troop by insuring that the troop's adult leadership is adequate, by providing various support functions, delivering quality troop program and handling troop administration and by insuring that the troop is functioning according to official policy. The Troop Committee consists of a chairman, secretary, treasurer, advancement coordinator, an Eagle advisor, unit commissioner, chartering organization representative, quartermaster, and numerous at-large members.
Meetings are held monthly during the school year on the first Sunday, 7:30 - 9:00 PM, at the home of the Troop Committee Chairman. Parents are welcome to attend the meeting and encouraged to provide suggestions and feedback for the troop to the committee.
