To become a Boy Scout, your son must
have completed fifth grade, or be 11 years old, or have earned the Arrow
of Light award, and be younger than 18 years old. Your son and you, if
possible, should visit one of the regular troop meetings. If he is
interested in joining the troop, you and he should make an appointment
with the Scoutmaster or the Committee Chairman for them to explain
scouting and the operation of our troop. We invite you and the
prospective Scout to go on a camping trip with us.
Every Scout needs his personal copy of
the Boy Scout Handbook. It contains everything he needs to know about
the advancement program, information on the uniform, camping know-how,
and many other skills of value and variety. Scouting equipment,
uniforms, and other Scout items can be purchased at
Dad and Lad’s in Elliot’s Hardware, 2049 Coit Rd,
Plano, TX 75075 (NW corner Coit/Parker). All Scout items may
also be purchased at The Scoutfitter, Circle 10 Service Center, 8605
Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas. The Scout’s Handbook will be his permanent
record of his achievement and advancement throughout his Scouting years,
so it should be cared for at all times.
The activities of Scouting are vigorous. It is required that each boy will
have a recent physical exam to be sure he is fit for the program. A
physical exam with the proper completed form is required for attendance
at the weeklong summer camp. You should inform us of any mental or
physical limitation, allergies, etc., for your son, at the time he joins
the Troop. The parents or guardian are responsible for updating the
Troop of any changes.
