The Troop Quartermaster keeps track of the troop's equipment. He is elected for a six-month term beginning in February or August and must be at least of Tenderfoot rank.

The Quartermaster's duties are as follows:

1)       Take home all patrol boxes at least one time during the term of office and inventory, clean, sort and repack all  items.  Place one copy of the inventory in a waterproof bag in each patrol box/submit the other to the Scoutmaster or his designee.

2)      Take home all first aid kits at least one time during the term of office.  Inventory and repack all items.  Place one copy of the inventory in a waterproof bag in each first aid kit/submit the other to the Scoutmaster or his designee

3)      Make suggestions for new or replacement items in patrol boxes and first aid kits.  Submit a detailed list, including, cost estimates for the purchase of items to the Scoutmaster or his designee.  Purchase approved new and replacement items and place in patrol boxes/first aid kits.

4)      Carry out any additional quartermaster project requested by the Scoutmaster or his designee, i.e. cleaning a stove or inventorying other troop supplies or equipment.

If elected Quartermaster, you are expected to attend nearly all troop functions. In order to receive leadership credit from the Scoutmaster during your tenure, you are expected to attend:

 •75% of all troop meetings, patrol meetings, business meetings and Courts of Honor

•75% of all other troop activities (i.e. Scout Skills Day, Scout Show), outings (i.e. climbing day), service projects (i.e. Flag Plant, Community Food Share), and Eagle projects.  Merit Badge classes/MBU are not intended to be included here and/or count towards this requirement.

•at least three campouts during the term of office

•all Patrol Leader’s Council Meetings unless excused ahead of time by the SPL (maximum of two excused absences and no unexcused).

•Junior Leader Training (either one day or weeklong) unless you have previously attended either training and/or unless excused by the Scoutmaster for a valid conflict (maximum of one excused absence in your Scouting career)

 You should set the example for other Scouts by wearing your uniform properly and living the Scout oath and law in your everyday life.  Show Scout Spirit in everything you say and do.
