Parent's Support 

Parent Support Group

Without our Parent's Support group, Troop 199 would not exist. The parent group provides support for our Troop in the areas of fundraising, communication, planning for outings, merit badges counselors and any other activity to support our Scout Troop.

​

Some parents no longer have Scouts in our Troop, however they are still committed to the values and purpose of our Scout Troop. When a scout comes into our Troop the parent automatically makes the commitment to be a part of the parent group.  We cannot accept any Scouts, without a family commitment.

Boy Scout moms watch their sons develop confidence, learn teamwork, face fear, and provide service. It is amazing to watch boys evolve into men. Scouts accumulate memories and skills that will stay with them forever. The twelve points of the Scout Law place boys on a path better prepared for whatever their future brings.

​

Most Scout moms get a bit teary as they watch their boys transition from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts and eventually to manhood.  Along this path, the attainment of Eagle Scout visibly demonstrates Scouting’s toughest challenge. It means Scouts have finished 21 or more merit badges, been a leader in the Troop, and have begun to internalize the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

​

Boy Scout advancements celebrate hard work and progression through the ranks of Scouting. Each level of Scouting from, First Class to Eagle, celebrates a sense of dedication, service, and potential. The mom’s pin necklace is a meaningful remembrance of what the boys have achieved.
