Good Behavior Rewards

Troop 60 leadership will strive to recognize, acknowledge, and when appropriate reward, good behavior.

Inappropriate Behavior Consequences

Behavior in defiance of the Code of Conduct will be addressed by the following leadership chain of command.

1. Patrol Leader/Assistant Patrol Leader

2. Senior Patrol Leader/Assistant Senior Patrol Leader

3. Assistant Scoutmaster/Junior Assistant Scoutmaster

4.  Scoutmaster

Resolution Process  

It is expected that two individuals will first attempt to resolve an issue between themselves before anyone else (youth or adult) needing to become involved. That is, if scouts can’t resolve, they should go to Patrol Leader, then SPL, and so on.

The above levels are the standard order.  This order will change depending on the type of activity, such as on a non-patrol structured activity the Scout in Charge will be Level 1.

If behavior issue or problem is not resolved at lower level, it will then be taken to the next level.  Addressing the problem may automatically go to a higher level based on the severity of the behavior or level of Scout/s involved.

Process may include, but is not limited to:

1. Leader to address inappropriate behavior and identify acceptable resolution.

2. Meeting of the party/ies involved, the appropriate youth leadership, and two registered adults, to discuss issue and planned resolution.

3. Meeting of youth leadership, Scoutmaster, and at least one other registered adult, to determine resolution.

4. Meeting of Scoutmaster and other adult leadership to determine resolution.

Consequences may include, but are not limited to:

1. Apology to the offended individual/s.

2. Written reflection on the point of the Scout Oath or Law which was not followed.

3. Assigned additional tasks.

4. Removal from activity or not allow participation in future activity/ies.

5. Removal from leadership position.

6. Suspension or removal from Troop.

7. Other actions as determined by the Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster, or Registered Committee Member.

In order to provide a positive, safe, and enriching environment for all members of Troop 60 (including scouts, adults, siblings, guests); while offering opportunities for wonderful adventures; the following rules have been established:

1. I will follow the Scout Law, Scout Oath, Motto, and Outdoor Code.  I will remember that these are the basis for all the following rules and should be the basis for all of my actions.

2. In all my actions, I will be Courteous, Kind and Reverent (respect the beliefs of others).

3. I understand that all forms of bullying (verbal, social, physical, criminal and cyberbullying) violate the Scout Oath, Scout Law and are strictly prohibited in Scouting.  I will work to ensure Troop 60 is a bullying free environment for all members of Troop 60.

4. I am expected to follow the posted or verbal schedule of activities and assignments specified by the troop leadership. This includes being on task at troop meetings and following duty rosters.

5. I will do my best to be on time and wearing the appropriate uniform for all troop events.

6. When on outings I understand, unless otherwise posted, that lights will be out, I will be quiet, and I will be in bed by 10:00 P.M.

7. No visitors will be allowed in other people’s tents from 10:00 P.M. until 7:00 A.M.
