Scouting America Leadership:
The family troop model becomes available as a third option to all chartering organizations on December 15, 2025. The Scouts BSA Committee has prepared an Intent to Convert form for all troops intending to convert to the family troop model, along with a Family Troop Registrar Guide to assist your council registrar with processing family troops. Please share both documents with your appropriate council/district staff and volunteers. The Intent to Convert form should also be shared with all interested troops. Once complete, troops should submit this form to their council registrar to assist in processing the change. This form is for local use only and should not be submitted to the National office.
As a reminder, you should also be sharing the Family Troop Decision Guide and Family Troop Best Practices Guide with your council/district staff and volunteers and all interested troops in your council. All troops that wish to discontinue the family troop model should be provided with the Converting from a Family Troop Guide.
Yours in Scouting,
