Boy Scout Troop 119
Hancock United Church of Christ - Lexington, Massachusetts

As a member of Troop 119, I understand that my right to join in the fun of Scouting requires responsibility on my part to always behave according to the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Outdoor Code, the Troop 119 Scout Law Policy and the Code of Conduct described below.
The Code of Conduct for Troop 119 is as follows:
The Scouts of Troop 119 elect the Senior Patrol Leaders and the Patrol Leaders to run the Troop through the Patrol Leaders’ Council (PLC). The PLC will initially address many violations of the Code of Conduct. Consequences could include a verbal warning, suspension from certain activities, removal of leadership position, referral to the Scoutmaster, or referral to the Troop Committee for severe violations, in accordance with Troop 119’s Scout Law Policy.
I will do my best to live up to the Scout Oath and Law and agree to follow this Code of Conduct.
