I am an assistant scoutmaster with a troop on the east side of Indy. My brother is also an assistant and formerly the scoutmaster, A good friend of ours is the current scoutmaster. We are all three Eagle Scouts from this troop.When it's appropriate we expect the boys to toe the line, and when it's time to goof off ok. We have had parents take thier boys out of the troop because we won't drop the kids off at home after meetings or camp outs. We believe in traditional patrol camping, and letting the senior patrol leader run the meetings. We believe it's the boys troop, and support and instruct them as needed. Too often parents are affraid their baby is going to get hurt. We unfortunately have trouble finding and keeping boys in the troop. We are a small troop but are very active.
