Troop Leadership & HELPING OUT

Troop 4 is run entirely by volunteers — the leaders below, plus dozens of parents who help one event, one season, or one job at a time. This two-page overview explains how it works.

If you have any questions, see the leadership information below. 

When in doubt, ask the Committee Chair or Scoutmaster!

How Adults Support the Troop

Not every job is on this page. Driving to a campout, taking event photos, running a fundraiser shift, keeping the trailer rolling — most of the ways adults support Troop 4 take a few hours and no registration at all.
