Trip Planner/Trip Leader Information

Trip planning and trip leadership is an essential component to Troop 77's robust campout schedule. We need to have each campout/event planned 2-3 months ahead of time, and a trip planner and trip leader need to work together during this process. 

• These trips will not be possible without adult volunteers

• We will need at least one Trip Planner, one Trip Leader and one assistant Trip Leader for each trip.

• If we are unable to identify a Trip Planner and/or Trip Leader for some of the more complex trips they will be canceled and we will just go camping locally.

• A Trip Planner-is not required to go on the campout

  • Work with Activity Coordinator to complete logistics of the outing - ina list of expected trip expensesmake activity reservations, etc. (6-8 weeks prior to campout)

  • Confirm activity plans with Scoutmaster and Trip Leader

  • Budget and gain Financial approval for

  • Draft and send “trip sheet” to the Troop

  • Gather registrations and payments for the activity and log into spreadsheet

• Trip Leader (Trip Leader Guide Book)-will attend the trip and coordinate the adults

  • Assign duties and responsibilities to adults attending the campout and coordinate with Committee Coordinators as needed

  • Coordinate with Scoutmaster/SPL re logistics, especially departure and arrival plans

  • During campout, work with Scoutmaster/SPL/Adult Patrol Leader to coordinate schedule of the campout
