Troop Code of Conduct
Participation in Scouting should be rewarding and fun for everyone. It is important that a certain level of conduct and discipline be maintained. Scouting should be a “safe haven” where youth can feel welcomed.
Below are a few simple rules intended to help maintain Troop order while respecting the needs and desires of the people involved.
1. Every member, regardless of position, has the right to be treated with respect and dignity by their fellow Scouts and adult leaders.
2. Scouts shall at all times conduct themselves in accordance with the intent and spirit of the Scout Law and Promise.
3. Abusive language and behaviour is not considered acceptable behaviour.
4. No Scout has the right to disrupt Troop activities at the expense of other Troop members.
5. No Scout has the right to put down, ridicule, or attack another Scout, either verbally or physically. Scouts that do so can expect that a firm level of discipline will be applied following Scouts Canada Bullying/Harassment Policy.
Violation of any of the above may result in one or more of the following consequences:
1. Parents/guardians will be informed of the inappropriate behaviour and requested to intervene. Scout will immediately be sent home from the meeting/activity/camp.
2. The Scout may be required to miss a meeting/activities.
3. A Scout who repeatedly violates Troop Code of Conduct, and does not make an effort to correct their inappropriate actions may, as a final option, face expulsion from the Troop.
