Troop 880 Code of Conduct
Scout's
Responsibilities:
All members of Troop 880 are expected to conduct themselves in
accordance with the principles set forth in the Scout Oath and Law.
Physical violence, hazing, bullying, theft, verbal insults, drugs and
alcohol have no place in the Scouting program and may result in the
revocation of a Scout's privileges and or membership in the troop. If
any Scout is confronted by threats of violence, verbal insults or other
forms of bullying or hazing including pranks performed on the scout, his
possessions or tent by other troop members, he should seek help from his
unit leaders or parents.
Agreement:
All Scouts and Adult Leaders are responsible representatives of their
community, family and Troop 880. Therefore, all Scouts and their parents
are asked to review and sign this Code of Conduct and
Statement of Understanding as a condition for membership and
participation, with the further understanding, that serious misconduct
or infractions of behavior rules may result in possible disciplinary
actions that include expulsion from any activity, meeting and/or trip.
Our goal is to make the Scout understand that he alone is responsible
for his behavior and the consequences of their actions.
ALL SCOUTS ARE EXPECTED TO LIVE BY THE BOY SCOUT OATH AND THE 12
POINTS OF THE SCOUT LAW AT ALL TIMES AND TO USE THESE IDEALS AS GUIDES
FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR.
