The troop committee is the troop's board of directors and supports the troop program. But you ask, "What does the troop committee do?" The troop committee does the following:

• Ensures that quality adult leadership is recruited and trained. In case the Scoutmaster is absent, a qualified assistant Scoutmaster is assigned. If the Scoutmaster is unable to serve, a replacement is recruited.
• Provides adequate meeting facilities.
• Advises the Scoutmaster on policies relating to Boy Scouting and the chartered organization.
• Supports leaders in carrying out the program.
• Is responsible for finances, adequate funds, and disbursements in line with the approved budget plan.
• Obtains, maintains, and properly cares for troop property.
• Ensures the troop has an outdoor program (minimum 10 days and nights per year).
• Serves on boards of review and courts of honor.
• Supports the Scoutmaster in working with individual boys and problems that may affect the overall troop program.
• Provides for the special needs and assistance some boys may require.
• Assists the Scoutmaster with handling boy behavioral problems.
