Membership
Procedure:
Troop 80 is open to all boys from age 11 to 18. A boy may also join when he is 10-1/2 if he has earned the Cub Scout Arrow of Light Award or has completed the fifth grade.
At his first meeting the boy will receive a packet that contains general information. When he decides to join Troop 80 and pays the required registration fees, he and his parents will receive the following:
This Manual of Troop Policies and Procedures
A Boy Scout Application Form
A Medical History and Permission Form
A Troop 80 Equipment list, Calendar, and Roster
Parents' Interest Survey Form
The Application and Medical History must be filled out and signed by a parent or guardian. The Class 1 Personal Health History on the back of The Boy Scout Application will suffice as a temporary medical form and will allow a Scout to participate in weekend campouts and local Troop activities. Each Scout must have a Class 2 medical form completed by his doctor prior to attending any District or Council events. This completed physical form is good for three years. Other physicals may be required depending upon the type and length of the event; a Class 3 medical form is required for high adventure trips.
Once a Scout has decided to join Troop 80 he is responsible for obtaining his own uniform and a Boy Scout Handbook..
This Boy Scout Handbook should last for his entire Scouting career so he should put his name on it in several places and take good care of it. All Scouts who have not reached the rank of First Class are required to have their handbooks with them at all meetings and camping trips. Scouts who have reached First Class rank should carry the Boy Scout Field Book at all meetings and camping trips.
New Scouts should bring the completed membership forms and the necessary fees to the next Troop meeting. A new Scout will be assigned to a patrol compatible with his age and abilities.

Adult Leaders Joining Troop 80: Adults joining Troop 80 as leaders must complete the Adult Leader Application. This application must be signed by the Scoutmaster, Troop Committee Chair, and the Chartered Organization Representative.
Registered adults must have a Class 2 medical form completed by a doctor in order to participate in camping activities. NOTE: Adults over 40 years of age must have a physical annually and complete a Class 3 medical form.
All parents are considered members of the Troop Committee. Adults who hold positions on the Troop Committee, however, must be registered through Troop 80 with the Council. Normally, adults who register will be registered as a Committee Member.
Adults who wish to register as Assistant Scoutmasters must be approved by the Troop Committee (or its designee) and the Scoutmaster. Assistant Scoutmasters must complete Basic Adult Leader Training.
