BSA TROOP 110 – Scout Requirements

Troop 110 prides itself on being a Troop run by the junior members. We all participate in the outings and service projects with the expectation of gaining life skills by our own efforts. We do not care to embarrass ourselves by expecting adults to do what we can do ourselves. We plan our activities and accomplish our goals by doing all that we can and judge what we have done by the results. As members we are expected to contribute to the group cause by paying attention to our leaders, participating in as many outings, meetings, and activities as possible and living up to the Scout Law, Motto, Slogan, and Outdoor Code. If we expect to achieve the Eagle Rank in Scouting we must commit to these expectations.

The typical year for Scouts in Troop 110 consists of several annual Service Projects, Fundraisers, Hikes and Camps.

• Service projects: Mt. Wilson Trail Race Support, Pioneer Days Historic Hike & US Post Office Support,
  and Sierra Madre Art Fair Guard Duty.
• Fundraisers: Mistletoe Sales, Popcorn Sales, Rose Parade Ushers.
• Hikes and Camps: Calico Desert Winter Camp, Bandito Winter Camp, Camporee,
  Mt. Wilson Trail Race "Over the Hill", Chawanakee Summer Scout Camp,
  Main Summer Outing (such as Jackass Meadows, Sierra Backpack Trip, or Horseback Trip)

Rank Advancement is a sole responsibility of the individual Scout. You advance at any rate you wish to. At school you must perform at a certain rate chosen for you. In Troop 110 you can practice personal time management by achieving rank and merit badges at any pace you chose. You are responsible for your own success. Being considered mature is being responsible for yourself and helping others become responsible. In the course of your Scouting career you will have the opportunity to accomplish many different challenging tasks. You can use these to practice life, job and personal skills plus learn how to lead and direct others. Encourage your parents to let you do your own work in Scouts, and commit yourself to always being prepared for all we do. If you do not like work you should look at other Troops. We work at and accomplish everything we attempt with as much panache as possible. Applying yourself to the Troop Program will offer you unique opportunities and moments you will remember all your life. Let your folks know that being a Scout is your job and attend to it as such with good attendance, attitude, and helping the Troop along.
