Female Scout Troop Ellettsville Indiana

Joining the Troop FAQs

Are you an all-boys or all-girls troop?

We are an all-girls troop. Our linked all-boys troop meets the same time and place as our troop. For more information on their troop, please visit: www.scoutsbsa119.com

When can girls join the troop?

Girls can join nation-wide starting February 1, 2019.

How much does it cost to join Scouts BSA?

The annual registration fee is $36, pro-rated monthly. (Joining in February, for example, would cost $33.)

How old do you need to be a Scout?

Youth can join a Scouts BSA troop who have earned the Arrow of Light rank and are at least 10 years old, or have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10, or who are 11, but not yet 18 years old.

What is the responsibility of a parent of a new Boy Scout?

Scouts BSA patrol and troop meetings are intended to be an activity for youth. They are not a family activity, and the presence of parents can be a distraction. However, parental involvement is not forbidden. If a parent or guardian would like to be present during a troop meeting, they should consult with the Scoutmaster in advance so a way can be arranged for them to observe. There also might be provision for them to register for a position on the troop committee or as an assistant Scoutmaster. There are always ways for your parent or guardian to be involved.

Is Scouting safe?

Yes. Programs are designed to follow a strict set of rules and policies that can be found in the Guide to Safe Scouting. Every registered adult in Scouting is required to complete a Youth Protection training course and a criminal background check. For more information, visit the Youth Protection page.
