Troop Policies
E-mail
Troop 41 Marlboro, MA recognizes the convenience and timeliness of e-mail
as a communications method. We distribute our newsletter and other
information, announcements with e-mail regularly and try to be responsive
to questions and comments. However, at no time should email be used to
discuss Troop Policy issues, personal information about Scouts or Adults,
or to complain about Troop Committee decisions. Any such email received
by the Troop leaders will be ignored. The proper method for communication
of this sort is in person, at Troop Committee meetings, or in writing
via US Mail. We reserve the right to permanently block email from anyone
who disregards this policy.
Medication
On
the recommendation of our Charter, First Church in Marlborough (Congregational),
and in consultation with Knox Trail Council of the Boy Scouts of America,
Troop 41 Marlboro, MA the following policy regarding medications was instituted
on April 2, 2003:
At or on any event, outing, meeting, campout or trip, adult leaders of
Troop 41 will not handle, dispense, safeguard or otherwise be responsible
for any prescribed medication for any boy in the Troop. This policy
will in no way prevent a boy from using prescribed medication provided
the boy or an adult, accompanying the boy specifically for this purpose,
is solely responsible for the care and use of said medication.
This is fully in keeping with the official rules of the Boy Scouts of
America which states in the Guide to Safe Scouting:
"The taking of prescription medication is the responsibility of the
individual taking the medication and/or that individual's parent or guardian. A
Scout leader, after obtaining all the necessary information, can agree
to accept the responsibility of making sure a Scout takes the necessary
medication at the appropriate time, but BSA policy does not mandate nor
necessarily encourage the Scout leader to do so."
