Troop 501 Policy Manual

Welcome to the Troop 501 Policy Manual -
A complete guide to policies and operation of Troop 501.

This manual was prepared to welcome new Scouts, Scouters, and parents to Troop 501, but we want to be sure that every family involved receives one. Please take time to read every page.

There is valuable information included that effects us all. There is a tremendous benefit to our Troop to have this information in writing to minimize misunderstandings. This manual represents many of the policies and procedures developed by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the Troop 501 Committee.

The Committee is responsible to the Chartering Organization (Grace Church of the Nazarene) that the Troop program is to be conducted according to BSA policies and the Chartering Organization's expectations. Modifications to the policies and procedures contained here is the responsibility of the Committee, and will only be made according to BSA policy.

It is the Troop's policy to abide by the procedures and rules set forth in this manual. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this manual, please feel free to contact the Committee Chairman, Dale Henninger.
