Troop 700B
The boy-led troop. Scoutmaster Keenan Roach.
700B runs on patrols. The Scouts elect a Senior Patrol Leader and Patrol Leaders, and those Scouts run the meetings — planning, teaching, and sorting out the parts that don’t go to plan. Fourteen other leadership jobs are open to anyone who wants one.
The campout calendar is written by the Scouts at the annual planning meeting. Adults drive, keep it safe, and stay out of the cooking.
Elections
Twice a year — September for the October–March term, and March for the April–September term.
Courts of Honor
Three a year, where rank advancement and merit badges are recognised in front of the whole troop and their families.
