New Parent Buddy Program

WANTED:

 EXPERIENCED SCOUT PARENTS

To participate in Troop 22’s New Parent Buddy Program

Purpose:

To help familiarize new parents with Troop 22: outings, uniforms, summer camp, parent committee, patrol and troop structure, advancement, etc.

Program:

• Existing parents with at least two years experience in the Troop will be recruited to act as “new parent buddies.”
• As soon as a new parent registers their son in the Troop, the chartering coordinator will give the new parents the name of a buddy.  The chartering coordinator will tell the new parents to call their buddy with questions, and that the buddy will be calling them a few times over the next few months to answer questions or just chat.  The Buddy will be given the new parent’s name and phone number.
• The buddy will call the new parent at least:
  • before the scout’s first outing
  • within a month of their joining
  • prior to summer camp

If you’ve been around Troop 22 and know the ropes, please sign-up to be a New Parent Buddy.  It will probably just require 3-4 phone calls.
