Useful Forms

Scouts who make use of standard forms for organizing the more routine data and tasks associated with Scouting can save a lot of time and effort and end up with a more robust result. In addition to helping you organize data so it is more easily understood by others, a good form also serves as a reminder of all the myriad details that are often needed to perform a given task.

If you run across or create a form you find useful, please submit it to the webmaster (e-mail to webmaster@troop76.org ) so it can be considered for posting.

1. Troop Meeting Plan - Very useful form which helps organize and plan a regular troop meeting. It is in a fill-in-the-blank fielded Adobe Acrobat form which you can fill in, save as a local file and print out or e-mail for sharing.
2. Leadership Cards - Leadership Cards are job description / "contracts" between a Scout and the Troop that spell out the responsibilities of  each Scout Leadership Position.  Each Troop 76 Scout Leader is expected to perform according to these guidelines and whether or not he "earns" full leadership credit is guided by this measurement. These are draft documents being reviewed by both youth and adult leadership for eventual use by Troop 76.
