The HALO is a volunteer adult who champions an event or initiative for the troop. This good egg helps plan the event, coordinates, and publicizes it. In short, they are responsible for making the event or initiative happen. The event might be a campout, a special troop meeting (e.g. elections), a day activity, even an adopt-a-troop program. Here are some RULES for being a HALO (well, they're more like guidelines, Arrr):
- You DO NOT need to hold any adult leadership position in the troop
- Like Noah’s Ark, we would like two HALOs for each event (HALO and Co-HALO)
- You can ask for help at any time from anyone, including Junior Assistant Scoutmasters, committee members, ASMs, or the Scoutmaster
- You can delegate to scouts (I particuarly like this one)
- You can sign up and help plan, but not necessarily attend the activity as long as there are trained adults attending
- You can sign up, change your mind, but you have to find a replacement in a timely manner
- You can sign up, change your mind, change your name, dye your hair, and move away as long as you do what’s required
- You do not need to know anything about the HALO war game or halo upper spine immobilizing medical devices
Every family’s participation in some way is required for a successful troop
