Get Involved
There are many ways to "get involved" with Troop NY-1613:
Pray. Pray for boys to love and follow God. Pray for leaders who heed God's direction. Pray for our nation and our boy's future. Pray that we are pleasing to God by answering His call to use our God given talents for His glory.
Become a leader. The troop is always in need of Godly leaders.
Volunteer to assist with setup or general help with special events.
Make a financial donation. Many families are hesitant to participate due to costs.
Donate gently used outdoor items. Tents, sleeping bags, lights, tarps, ropes and games are common items.
Parent Service Pledge
Trail Life Troop NY-1613 is a 100% volunteer-led organization. The Parent Service Pledge is an opportunity for each family to help us accomplish our common goals in providing a healthy, safe environment and activities for all members of Trail Life Troop NY-1613. The success of our present program, development of future activities, and progress within the Troop is dependent on the participation of family members within our organization.
We understand that each parent’s gifts, talents, time constraints, and commitments outside of the troop vary. However, our troop encourages at least one parent to consider volunteering on our committee or become a direct contact leader after 5 months of joining the troop. While not all are called to be leaders, without an appropriate number of volunteers, the troop cannot operate.
There are numerous opportunities to serve both during and outside of troop meetings as well as in year-round and event-specific positions. If you are interested in doing something not listed, please discuss it with the Committee Chair. We welcome all new ideas.
The Troop Board encourages teamwork in leadership positions. Give thought to signing up for a leadership role or event/activity with a parent buddy. It’s twice the fun and half the work! Those who have experience will guide those who are new to a position.
Your participation is vital to our success. Trail Life Troop NY-1613 thanks you for helping enhance the lives of these young men through your participation in the troop.
Trail Life USA is the parent organization to all Trail Life Troops throughout the country.

Leadership roles descriptions, even if a role is being fulfilled we could always use the help.
