Welcome to Scout BSA Troop 307B - Catonsville, Maryland - Serving youth since 1929

 

Catonsville Troop 307B is one of the oldest Boy Scout troops in the Baltimore Area Council! The troop is sponsored by the American Legion Dewey Lowman Post 109.  Join us on Tuesday for meetings at Catonsville United Methodist Church at 7:00 PM. 

With trained youth and adult leadership, Troop 307 is committed to a strong outdoor program, combined with community service to support the core values of Boy Scouts to develop leadership, character, citizenship, and personal fitness. We embrace the philosophy of the "boy-led, adult-supervised" troop.

Adult Volunteers Needed

Posted by admin on Sep 23 2024 - 3:03pm
 
As our Troop continues to grow and thrive, we are seeking additional adult volunteers to join both the Troop Committee and Troop Programming.  Adult leaders play a crucial role in supporting our Scouts and helping the Troop run smoothly by overseeing activities, planning events, handling logistics, and ensuring the program's success.
 
We currently have a few open positions and could use extra hand in the following areas: 
  • Treasurer:  Managing Troop finances and keeping accurate records.
  • Restuarant Fundraising Coordinator:  Organize and manage approximately four restaurant fundraisers each year.
  • Assistant Scout Master:  Assisting with Troop meetings and activities; providing guidance during campouts and outdoor events; supporting Scouts as they work on advancement and merit badges; helping to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants.
  • Medical Form (AHMR) Coordinator:  Collecting, organizing, and managing the medical forms for the Scouts and Leaders; Ensuring that the medical forms are complete; reaching out to families when the forms have expired.
  • Boards of Review: Part of a team that meets with scouts who are advancing in rank to assess their progress, evaluate the Scout's growth, provide feedback and encouragement to the Scout, and to ensure that the Scout's overall experience with the Troop is one that is positive.

No prior experience is necessary, and your involvement can be flexible to suit your schedule.  Volunteering with the Troop is a rewarding way to be involved in your Scout's journey, support the Troop, and contribute to the success as a team.

If you're interested in learning more or are able to help, please don't hesitate to reach out to either Scoutmaster Aaron Koos or Committee Chair Dave Gutberlet.

T307 - Medication Policy

Posted by admin on May 15 2024 - 4:14pm

As we start ramping things up for Summer Camp, it's a good time to be reminded of Troop 307's policy toward medication.

 
Summary -- The first priority of the Troop is keeping our Scouts safe, and we do our best to work with you to ensure that happens.  If medication is to be distributed at a troop event, a discussion with POC/ASM is required ahead of the event.  A leader will hold/manage all medications unless a discussion between the parents and leaders determines that other arrangements are acceptable.  The key to this policy is communication, both open and honest, between the parents and Troop leadership before the event.  This policy is inline with BSA guidelines.  The full policy can be found here.

TROOP 307 - EXPERIENCED UNIFORM and GEAR EXCHANGE PROGRAM

Posted by admin on Aug 28 2023 - 7:58pm

Welcome to the Experienced Uniform & Gear Exchange, Troop 307 offers to all Scouts. Using the uniform exchange is a great way to clothe your child in experienced uniform attire and supply them with gear at no cost. Here is a brief overview of how the program is set up to function:

  1. Clean gently used uniforms and gear is turned into the troop
  2. All pieces are inspected
  3. Parents browse for pieces needed
  4. Requests are made and items will be issued at troop meeting.

We are asking to donate outgrown uniform clothing and gear so we can serve as many scouts as possible.  Items we are looking for are uniform pants, shorts, class A long and short sleeve shirts, class B shirts and hoodies, scout shirts and hoodies, cold gear, scout belts, hiking boots, hat and any camping or scout gear.

Additional details in the attached flier.
