VII.  DISCIPLINE

A.    GENERAL POLICY

In order to operate a successful Troop, it is important to minimize problems that arise between Scouts or problems with
an individual Scout’s behavior.  Problems, however, are a learning experience and Scouts are urged to work out their
problems with each other whenever possible.  When this is not possible, the Troop has established the following
procedure to insure fairness to all involved:

1.       Scout should discuss the problem with his Patrol Leader (or Asst. Patrol Leader).  Patrol Leaders will discuss
problems directly with the involved Scout(s).

2.       If the problem is not resolved, the Scout or the Patrol Leader should discuss the problem with the Sr. Patrol
Leader (or his Assistant).

3.       If the problem is not resolved, the Scout or the Patrol Leader, or the Sr. Patrol Leader should discuss the problem
with the Scoutmaster.

4.       Persistent problems will be reviewed by the Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster, Troop Committee Chairperson,
and the Scout(s) involved.  Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.  Examples:

·         Scout is moved to another Patrol.

·         Scout is suspended from camp outs for a period of time.

·         If Scout is in a Leadership position he will be suspended from his position for a period of time approved by      the
Scoutmaster.


B.    CAMP OUTS

The same procedure is followed on camp outs with the following exceptions:

·         The Camp Master may function in Scoutmaster's absence during camp outs.

·         In cases of consistent behavioral problems by a Scout, his parents will be called to come immediately to the           
campsite to take their son home.

.         Damages to Troop or personal equipment (see Camping and Special Activities).
