In order to head off into the backcountry, each crew must have two trained WRFA members. Leaders must maintain certification getting retrained every two years. This is open to any scouts or adults age 14 and up. This training is being offered July 13-14 at MMC. I initially was signed up for the June 29-30 course but transferred to attend Zach Jones' Eagle CoH. If you're interested, please register here. There is a Scout discount.Become an Adult Volunteer - we need YOU!
There are two streams for adult participation: Scoutmaster Corps & Troop Committee.
If you want to wear the uniform and interact with the scouts, participating in events, campouts, and troop meetings, Scoutmaster Corps is for you. If you'd like to camp occasionally, but really would rather be involved in more of the "business side" of things, troop Committee Membership is for you! Scoutmaster Corps should wear the uniform, Committee Chair and a couple other dedicated members of the committee who'd like to camp should wear a uniform.
We want you to get involved in the troop operations; we need your help. Providing opportunities for scouts requires a fair amount of behind the scenes work from adults. Whether its help with a single event to more of continual volunteer commitment, we have room for you! Maybe you can help with fundraisers, or a fundraiser, or help with advancement tracking or picking up items from the store, or general camp coordination (making sure there are enough drivers, etc.), or maintaining annual health forms. Simply put, whatever level of assistance you're willing to commit to, we'll gladly take it. Many hands make for lighter work. You don't have to have any experience, you just have to have to be willing. Reach out to our new committee chair, Quentin Randolph, and let him know you're interested.
