Troop 325, located in west Shoreline, is looking for a new Scoutmaster who will help guide our young men to reach their individual goals in scouting while learning important life-long skills and enjoying outdoor adventures.

Founded in 1957 and charted by First Lutheran Church of Richmond Beach, Troop 325 meets on Monday evenings September through June. Most scouts attend BSA summer camp, participate on the weeklong outdoor 50 mile trip, and go on a few outings in the summer.

Troop 325 is a non-denominational troop and has active and involved parent volunteers who provide support for all activities and outings, and are all dedicated to providing the best scouting program possible to the boys.

The new Scoutmaster will provide strong leadership and mentoring for our boy-lead troop. The Scoutmaster will build a strong program by using proven Scouting methods. 

A combination of enthusiasm, scout leadership training, communications skills, planning, vision and the spirit of collaboration are essential. The Scoutmaster will be supported by an active Parent Committee, with strong transitional support from the current Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters.

These are characteristics of a successful Scoutmaster:

• Commitment to the ideals of Scouting, and high moral standards
• High energy level and ability to relate to boys age 11 to 18.
• Ability to keep a “cool head” under pressure
• Good planning ability, organizational skills and attention to detail
• Good communication skills and ability to relate and interact with adults
• Flexibility and the ability to compromise
