Scouting has always depended on volunteer registered adult leaders, primarily parent of Scouts, to lead packs, troops, teams, crew, and ships. It is also part of Scouting’s tradition that most parents who are not registered leaders pitch in from time to time to help out. To encourage involvement and more engagement of volunteers at all levels, the Boys Scouts of America has developed the National Parent Initiative.
The National Parent Initiative is a unique opportunity to engage more parents in Scouting, especially at the Unit level. The emphasis is on capturing a parent’s interest and support in becoming more involved and committed to the success of their child’s Scouting experience. It will enhance youth and adult enthusiasm, recruitment, retention, achievement and the family FUN of Scouting with a passionate commitment by all who participate.
Scout Parents Unit Coordinator, a new unit position, has been created and will officially be part of the program on Sept. 1, 2008. The adult application will allow for registration in this position, as well as parents making their commitment on the youth application. This person will serve as a registered member of the unit’s committee or as one of its assistant unit leader’s.
For more information on the Scout Parents Unit Coordinator position for your Unit and other information regarding the Scout Parent’s Program you may visit www.scoutparents.org or contact your unit serving executive or Council Office for additional information.
