We would like to welcome you and your scout to Troop 123's FAQ page. This information was designed to help you understand how our troop is organized and functions. It should also answer most of your questions and explain how your scout will fit in.
Table of Contents
Where do you meet ... ?We meet in the basement of St. Michael Catholic Church, 5750 N. High St. Worthington, Ohio. St. Michael's is at the corner of Selby & High St approximately 1 mile south of 161. Back to Top
What time and when are your meetings ... ?We have weekly Troop meetings on Mondays from 7:00 to 8:30. See our calendar. Back to Top
What kind of activities do you do? Do you camp ... ?We camp every month all year round. The meetings are organized so that the Scouts learn a Scout skill and then get to use it at that month’s campout. We go to Summer Camp and have a Summer Trip to a point of interest up to 8 hrs away every year. We participate in Council and District activities, such as Camporees, The Maple Sugar Festival, and Webelos overnights. Back to Top
Who runs the Troop ... ?The Senior Patrol Leader, assisted by the Patrol Leaders, and other boy leaders. Back to Top
Is there adult leadership ... ?Yes, Steve Canini, our Scoutmaster, oversees all the boy leadership through the Patrol Leader Council. He is also assisted by many Assistant Scoutmasters and the Troop Committee, headed by Carol Kuebler, the Committee Chairman. Back to Top
What is the Patrol Leader Council (PLC) ... ?The PLC is the boy leadership of the Troop. They meet once a month to plan Troop meetings, campouts and make other decisions about that month’s program and Troop functions. They are supervised by the Scoutmaster. Back to Top
Why is Troop 123 run this way ... ?We feel that a well led Troop is a boy led Troop. The boy leadership consist of older Scouts of First Class or above in rank, that were elected by the other Scouts. This form of leadership gives the Scouts a chance to be a leader, learn personal responsibility, and leadership skills. It also makes the Troop more fun. It’s their ideas and wants that we are doing, but it is not anarchy, we set guidelines and limits on what they can do and we emphasize following the Scout Law and Promise.
