The Boy-Led Troop |
|
Empowering boys to be leaders is the core
of Scouting. Scouts learn by doing, and what they do is
lead their patrols and their troop.
Each August, the scouts plan the activities for the next
year. Working within the Longhorn Council and Lakeview
district planned events, our scouts set performance and
destination objectives that will provide the framework
for fun, growth, and challenge.
Twice each year the scouts elect a Senior Patrol Leader
who is in charge of the troop meetings and who chairs
the patrol leaders council. With the patrol leaders, it
is his job to keep the troop program on track, and to
lead the group. In addition, there are several appointed
positions of responsibility such as Quartermaster who
works closely with the troop committee in managing troop
equipment, the Scribe who works mainly with
advancements, the Historian who organizes information
about the troop activities, the Librarian who manages
troop reference materials, and the Chaplain Aide who
assists in religious services for the troop. |

| The Boy Scouts of America uses eight fundamental methods to meet boys' hope for fun and adventure, and to achieve Scouting's aim of encouraging character development, citizenship, and mental and physical fitness. A Scout troop functions best when all eight methods are employed. |

Advancement |
|
|
We strongly believe in the Boy Scout Advancement Program that
encourages boys to meet significant challenges that lead to
personal growth. All Troop members are encouraged to excel, and
that applies to the adult leaders as well. Troop 4 counts
several of our members as Twin Arrows Junior Leaders graduates.
Our scouts have held office in the Order of the Arrow Lodge,
served as Staff at Twin Arrows, participated in the National
Junior Leaders' Training Course at Philmont, and many have been
recognized with the religious emblem award of their faith. Many
of our young men have achieved Eagle Scout. The adult leaders at
Troop 4 have regularly passed the Scoutmasters' Fundamentals
Course, and three of our Scoutmaster Corps members have
completed Wood Badge. Our adults have always generously
participated as counselors at Merit Badge College, and we have
counselors for all Eagle-required badges. |
