Adult Leadership
Troop 279 is a “Youth Lead” troop. Our youth leaders are elected by the troop members. The Scoutmaster and all the other adult leaders are in place to ensure a safe environment, provide guidance and assistance to the youth who are learning leadership skills.
The Troop, just like any other well-run organization, must have a clear understanding of the hierarchy and roles needed to effectively run the scouting program. The image of the troop organization chart, depicts all the possible positions in a large troop.
We are very fortunate to have a group of adult leaders with a long scouting history and a desire to see young scouts succeed and grow into individuals of strong moral character.

Scout Parents
A Scout Parent is a parent or adult mentor of a Scout who enthusiastically participates with their Scout and volunteers to provide the best quality program experience to all youth in the unit. A Scout Parent is trained in Youth Protection, helps with special events and often provides transportation to and from Scout activities.
Troop 279 is very fortunate to have so many adult volunteers and helpers. However, we always have more leadership and volunteering positions available. Please visit our Volunteering page to learn more.
Thank you to all the leaders and volunteers that have dedicated time out of their busy schedules to ensure that the scouts in Troop 279 are successful and have fun while traveling the Scouting journey!!
