Best Answer

The Boy Scout Troop, Cub Scout Pack, Venturing Crew, and Sea Scout Boat are the main units of organization of the BSA. They are often subdivided into smaller groups of youths (patrols and dens etc.) but those smaller units do not have their own governing bodies.

The Troop is sponsored by an organization with an interest in youth such as a church, school, or civic goup (such as Knights of Columbus, American Legion, Elks Club and others). The sponsor appoints adults to leadership roles such as Scoutmaster and committee chair. It is governed by a Troop committe. The number of Scouts in the Troop varies from just a few to upwards of 50-100 with about 20 being a fairly typical number.

Should women be Scoutmasters of a Boy Scout Troop?

There are two reasons that support and do not support women being scoutmasters. Yes: it promotes gender equality, some women may be more experienced in scouts than some of the men. No: In a boy scouts troop, they would probably prefer a man to take charge and lead the scouts they are in, because it is outdoors and has been tradition for a long time. Comparison: Guides has been made for girls, and scouts were formed for boys, so keeping the women leading the guides, and the men leading the scouts would probably be the better option.
