Registered Adults in Troop NC-613

Registered Adults are the adult members of Trail Life USA part of our local Troop.

A Registered Adult may be counted as part of our two-deep adult policy and may, but is not required to, take on other leadership roles in our Troop. The national process requires you to pay the membership fee, complete a background check, and complete a brief training video on Youth Protection. Our church will routinely perform additional steps as needed, including soliciting a ministry volunteer application and conducting its own background check.

FAQs About Registered Adults

Is a Registered Adult the same thing as troop volunteer?

Not necessarily. Registration is part of a vetting process. There are some volunteer opportunities that do not require being a registered adult, and some outings might require adults to be registered merely for attendance purposes.

What are the responsibilities of a Registered Adult?

A Registered Adult joins the ranks of adults sharing responsibility for youth protection. A Registered Adult must be familiar with the basic policy rules of the Youth Protection Policy, and work actively to avoid things such as improper one-on-one contact. Furthermore, we expect Registered Adults to exhibit a shared commitment to service--to help when their time and gifts would permit them to do so.

What else may a Registered Adult do?

Registered Adults often assist Trail Guides in maintaining order in patrol meetings, take up small projects on behalf of the committee, instruct on specific items of personal expertise, and in general help out where needed.

Does a Registered Adult wear a uniform?

Registered Adults are permitted to wear any TLUSA uniform under Trail Life policies. In our Troop setting, we encourage Registered Adults to only wear class A uniform when they are actively serving. Registered Adult are always encouraged to wear their TLUSA lanyard when on-site for a meeting or event.

What is the difference between a Registered Adult and a Trail Guide?

A single patrol may have multiple Trail Guides and Registered Adults doing different things at any point in time. As a general rule, a Trail Guide has one or more particular duties for the patrol he is individually accountable for completing. A Trail Guide is considered a volunteer leader.

How does a Registered Adult transition to a more specific volunteer or leadership role?

Positions within the Troop are appointed by the Troop Committee on delegation by the church. One should converse with Troop leadership if one is interested in learning about these opportunities, qualifications, and specific appointment processes.
