Assistant Scoutmaster of AdvancementEdit

This role is typically split between two assistants. One oversees the monthly Board of Reviews, gathers volunteer Board Examiners, and maintains the Troop's Merit Badge Counselors. He also is in charge of the massive influx of blue cards from Horseshoe.

The other assistant scoutmaster is responsible for the Eagle boards. He is tasked with handling all paperwork required for approval of the rank and scheduling the board for each prospective Eagle Scout.

Assistant Scoutmaster of GroundsEdit

The Assistant Scoutmaster of Grounds handles the day-to-day maintenance required for the Cabin. He works in conjunction with the youth Quartermaster of Grounds and helps to organize work days when needed. With the massive tree removal on the grounds as well as the 100th Birthday approaching, grounds has become an incredibly busy role.

Assistant Scoutmaster of RecruitingEdit

The Assistant Scoutmaster of Recruiting and the youth Den Chiefs work with Cub Scout packs to recruit new members after their Crossover ceremony. Through numerous camping events, tours of the grounds, and meetings the Troop is kept at a healthy level with a steady supply of new members.

Assistant Scoutmaster in CampEdit

Tasked with ensuring that the Troop's week at Horseshoe is productive, fun, and safe, the Scoutmaster in Camp has an intense yet brief job. In addition, he is largely responsible for maintaining and improving Lisle campsite both during summer camp and throughout the year.

Miscellaneous Assistant ScoutmastersEdit

Many leaders still contribute greatly to the program without having a specific role or designated title. For instance, Richard T. Bensing, though retired from the Scoutmaster position, continues to spend countless hours working on the Cabin, aiding the Boards, and assisting with Eagle projects. Others like Tom Donnelly are a constant presence at Troop events.
