Do adult leaders have faith requirements?

Yes. Registered Adult membership in Trail Life USA includes faith-related requirements appropriate to the adult role. Prospective adult volunteers should speak with troop leadership and review the current Trail Life USA requirements during registration.

How do I become a Registered Adult?

Speak with a Troop 4110 leader first. Adult registration is initiated through the local troop rather than simply signing up independently. You will then complete Trail Life USA’s required membership steps, screening, training, and any role-specific requirements.

Can parents volunteer without becoming Registered Adults?

There may be limited ways parents can help with particular activities, but ongoing leadership, supervision, and roles involving youth must follow Trail Life USA’s current adult-registration and youth-protection requirements. Ask a troop leader before volunteering in a youth-facing role.

What does it mean to become a Registered Adult?

Registered Adults complete Trail Life USA’s adult membership process after being invited or initiated by troop leadership. The process includes applicable membership requirements, background screening, Youth Protection Training, and other current Trail Life requirements for the role.

How can fathers become involved?

Fathers can help at Thursday meetings, attend campouts and outings, serve on activities and projects, and become Registered Adults. A leader can help identify a level of involvement that fits your availability and the troop’s needs.
