A Scout must be active to reap the full benefits of the Troop 412 program. Because camping is the heart of Scouting, the Troop expects its Scouts to attend overnight camps year round and to make every effort to attend the annual summer camp. A Scout is considered active if he attends a minimum of 51% of regular meetings and a minimum of 51% of regular campouts (including summer camp). There are no excused absences since the 51% standard is intended to allow sufficient leeway for such things as illness, school activities, family activities, or sports. Although the Troop does not suspend inactive Scouts, the Scoutmaster may exclude them from certain activities, and the Board of Review may deny advancement.
