The Scoutmaster is the adult responsible for working directly with the Scouts providing direction, coaching, and support.
The Scoutmaster has three basic roles:
- providing the youth leaders with the tools and skills so they can run the troop
- making sure the rules of the BSA and chartered partner are followed
- being a good mentor and positive role model
