Get Involved

Parents and guardians are an essential part of the Troop 5113 community. Scouting thrives when families are engaged, connected, and excited about the adventure their Scouts are experiencing. Whether you have a lot of time to give or just a little, there’s a meaningful place for you in our troop. 

Scouting is built on teamwork, leadership, and shared experiences — and that includes families. When parents participate, Scouts gain confidence, feel supported, and see firsthand that their growth and achievements matter. Your involvement strengthens our troop and helps create unforgettable experiences for every Scout. 

Below are several flexible ways parents can get involved. Each begins with a Guided Link so you can easily continue the conversation if you want help developing any specific role.

• Volunteer Leadership — Assist as an adult leader, merit badge counselor, or committee member. Training is provided, and no prior Scouting experience is required.

• Event Support — Help organize campouts, service projects, fundraisers, or special troop activities. Even occasional help makes a big difference.

• Skill Sharing — Have a hobby, trade, or area of expertise? Teach a merit badge, run a workshop, or support a hands‑on activity.

• Transportation Assistance — Driving to campouts, service events, or outings is one of the simplest and most appreciated ways to help.

• Behind‑the‑Scenes Help — From record‑keeping to gear organization, many quiet but essential tasks keep the troop running smoothly.

Getting involved isn’t just beneficial for the troop — it’s rewarding for you too.

• A deeper connection with your Scout’s growth and achievements

• Opportunities to learn new skills and enjoy outdoor experiences

• A welcoming community of families who support one another

• The chance to make a lasting impact on Troop 5113’s future

Troop 5113 welcomes every level of participation. Whether you want to help occasionally or take on a bigger role, your presence strengthens our community and enriches the Scouting experience for all.
