Records are very important to scouting. From your first day in scouting, the Troop keeps records of what you do and accomplish. Things like your attendance at troop and patrol meetings, your participation in scouting events, service projects and fundraisers, your rank advancements and your merit badges, just about everything you do are a part of the Troop records.

No scout can advance in rank or take a merit badge without records, and no scout gets any recognition for his accomplishments without them. As the Troop Scribe, you help make sure our records are complete, accurate and up-to-date.

You attend the Greenbar meetings and keep a log of what takes place, and any decisions that are made. You note attendance at all Troop activities and write a brief description of each activity after it is over. You log the results of all competitions and all other achievements, at all the scouting events that Devon 50 participates in.

You work with the adult leader responsible for the troop records, so that the information you have can be entered into the Troop records. Your description of events will also be used in the ''Pelican Feathers'' Devon 50 scout paper, and on the Devon 50 web site, and become part of the Devon 50 history.

You can turn to the Troop staff and the adult leaders for help and advice any time. Everyone wants you to succeed. You have an important job, and Devon 50 will be a better troop when you do a good job.

As a Devon 50 Junior Leader, you are expected to do a short report at the Greenbar meeting on what you did as the Troop Scribe during the past month. What did the Troop achieve, what did you achieve, and what problems are you aware of that should be discussed. This report will demonstrate that you have performed your leadership duties and that the time should count towards advancement.

As a leader, you are also an example and role model for younger scouts. What you do will make a much bigger impression on them than anything you say. Live by the Scout Oath and Law. Wear you uniform correctly. Participate with enthusiasm in Devon 50 activities.

Be someone you would look up to.
