 Cell Phone Policy

  1. General use: Scouts are not to use any phone during scout activities unless requested by an adult leader to contact parents.
  2. Travel: Scouts may use their phone during travel to and from activities and camp. At the end of travel to camp scouts must turn off their phone and either leave in the vehicle or give to an adult leader who will return it for the trip home.
  3. Meetings: Scouts must refrain from using their phone during meetings. Remove all ear buds for the duration of the meeting.
  4. Emergencies: If parents wish to contact their scouts, they may call an adult leader at any time. If an emergency occurs on an outing, adult leaders will contact parents, most likely through email, and give phones back to scouts at the appropriate time.
  5. Special situations: If a special situation arises requiring a cell phone, for example movie making MB, the Scout leader has the authority to return the phone to a scout for a limited time and specific purpose.
  6. Homesickness and minor injuries: Scouts will in general not be allowed to call home for homesickness or minor injuries. Experience has taught us that phone calls only make the situation worse. In case of a more substantial injury, an adult leader will contact the parents.
  7. Consequences: Any scout found in violation of this policy will have his phone confiscated and returned to the parent at the end of the event.
  8. Final Comments: Phones are a ubiquitous part of our society and schools have found that they are too distracting for classes. We share this sentiment in scouting and find that phones take scouts mentally away from the education we are offering and from positive social interactions. Scouts on a campout or in a meeting simply have very little need for a phone. The downside risks outweigh the upside potential.

Uniform Policy

 The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) uniform policy includes guidelines for shirts, pants, belts, neckerchiefs, and headgear. The uniform is meant to show a commitment to helping others, loyalty to country, and belief in God. 

 Shirts 

  • The official shirt is tan and has button-flap pockets.
  • The collar should be unbuttoned.
  • The shirt can be long or short sleeved.
  • Shirts should be neat in appearance with all patches up to date.

Pants 

  • The official BSA pants are green and have no cuffs.
  • Scouts can also wear BSA shorts.

Belts 

  • The official belt is green and has a metal buckle.
  • Scouts can wear a plain leather belt or a Scout leather belt instead.

Neckerchiefs 

  • Scouts should wear the Troop 840 neckerchief under or over the collar.
  • The neckerchief can be tightened by rolling it.
  • Scouts can wear a bolo tie in lieu of a neckerchief if they are an Eagle Scout, a member of the Order of the Arrow or have attended a High Adventure Base.
