CONDUCT POLICY



Troop 90 intends to maintain the high standards to which each Scout ascribes under the Boy Scout Oath and Law. The Troop has a large number of active Scouts who are usually trustworthy, courteous and obedient. However certain rules must be stated and accepted to avoid misunderstanding or problems. These rules apply when a Scout is under the responsibility of the Troop, i.e., either at the weekly meetings, on a camping trip or attending other Troop sponsored activity. These rules and related disciplinary action are listed below.


We do not tolerate the following:


  1. The use of profanity.


  1. Any form of hazing, physical or verbal harassment or malicious behavior directed toward each other.


  1. Improper use of matches or lighters, knives or permitted camp tools.


  1. Not following safety direction of the Scout leader.


  1. Lying


Discipline must to maintained for the adult and Scout leaders to manage a large group of Scouts. At the first warning during a meeting or outing for inappropriate behavior such as described above, a conference will be held with the Scout and Scoutmaster. At the second disruption during the same meeting or outing, the Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster will call the parent to come, and the boy will be sent home. The disciplinary committee consisting of three unbiased adults and leaders will conduct further investigation.


A Scout may be suspended from the Troop for:


1.The possession or use of any illegal drug.


2. The possession or use of any weapon or firearm.


3.Possession or use of alcoholic beverages.


4.Smoking or any use of tobacco products.


5.Stealing.


Reinstatement of a suspended Scout will be under terms specified by the Scoutmaster, with the concurrence of the Troop Committee. Consisting of three unbiased adults and leaders. The Scoutmaster will keep a log of any violation of the above. A Scout is “trustworthy,” and we expect this point of law and all others to be taken seriously. A Scout will become a responsible young man, and later a respected adult if he lives by the Scout Oath and Law.
