This event is for AOL Level Cubs and their parent(s).  If interested, please contact Mrs Erin Storm at tvggactrail2troop@gmail.com for details and application.  THIS IS AN INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY.  Great opportunity to share your leadership skills.  Hours are not considered Service Hours.

Though not mandated via the national organization, Troop 216 will be implementing a new policy for the upcoming academic year where all registered scouts will require at least one adult registration (guardian, parent, caretaker) per family. There will be no exceptions. If a family has multiple registered scouts within the troop, at least one adult application is needed.

This policy will help ensure a smooth process for spurious participation in any scout-facing activity that includes outings, service projects, overnight camps, etc. Furthermore, this will enable the troop to more quickly engage adult volunteers as needed.

Adult applications/registrations take place via the same portal where youth scout registrations take place on my.scouting.org. Please designate Troop 216 as your unit (if you have children in Cub Packs please submit Troop 216 as "multiple units" designation). Adult applications by default will require Safety for Youth Training (SYT) along with background checks, all handled online via the same my.scouting.org website.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy change, please text or call me at 415-525-2787.

Thanks,

Kevin, T216 CC
