Troop Leadership
Super Home Ranger Scouts provides a great opportunity for all kids to work together as a team.  It is our goal to have them develop leadership skills at home, put them into practice with each other, and see them manifest as they go into the world.  We offer leadership positions within our troops and our at-home activities so that they sharpen their skills.  The skills are reinforced and celebrated through our badges and awards programs.  Positions are for one semester for large troops and all year for smaller troops.  We pride ourselves in not showing favoritism but allowing each child to shine and gain the skill necessary to succeed.  Troopers who complete 5 out of the 8 leadership badges will receive our Gold Star Award.

Troop Leadership Positions

Leader of Humanities

The Leader of Humanities (LOH) is responsible for making sure meetings start on time. They should have a watch at every meeting and give quiet reminders to fellow Leaders when it is time to start or take a break.  The LOH is also responsible for making sure every class group has a Leader that is trained and knows his or her responsibilities.  The LOH holds a summer Leadership meeting to plan out the school year activities.  The LOH is trained in all leadership positions so they may fulfill those duties if needed.

Leader of Humanities Assistant

The Leader of Humanities Assistant (LOHA), is also responsible for keeping the students occupied with songs or games if there is a lull in the meeting where other Head LOH make need coverage.   The LOHA is trained in secretary and treasurer roles so they may fill in where needed.  

Secretary

The Secretary (Sec) is responsible for taking notes at all meetings when business is discussed.  The secretary is responsible for logging badges and awards.  The secretary is to make all calls to leadership and delegate or initiate any calls needed to S-HRS.  An adult should always oversee this position to make sure it is done correctly.

An older S-HRS can partner with the Secretary for training as a Host or Hostess.  The S-HRS is responsible for having cards ready to sign for all special needs (illness, birthday, thanks, etc.) and making sure they reach the intended recipient.

Goody Coordinator 

The Goody Coordinator (GC) is responsible for creating a Goody rotation list and calling to remind students when it is their turn to bring the goodies. If for some reason a S-HRS cannot provide a snack, it is the Goody coordinator’s job to find a substitute. An older S-HRS can partner with the GC for training. 

Treasurer

The Treasure is responsible for reporting the current finances of the troop at each Leadership meeting. She should help prepare budgets for all events and activities. The Treasurer is also responsible for logging in all payments to the troop, these may include dues, troop registration, uniform fees, or payments for badges and awards. An adult should always oversee this position to make sure it is done correctly. An S-HRS can partner with the Treasurer to organize a troop fundraiser.  This activity is designed to develop important math skills needed to be a leader at home or in business.

Health and Wellness Coordinator

The Health and Wellness Coordinator (HWC) is responsible for offering (non-mandatory and spiritually fluid) meditation sessions to the group 15 minutes before every meeting.  The Health and Wellness Coordinator also works with an S-HRS to develop a troop environmental project that will get the kids into nature.  This activity is designed to give the children a break from electronics and get in touch with planet Earth, incorporating science is encouraged.

Photographer and Historian

The Photographer takes pictures at all troop meetings and events. You may wish to have more than one S-HRS serve in this position if you have a large troop. This ensures that there are pictures of every trooper. Photographers are also the Lead Historians of the group and should work with another S-HRS in making the troop scrapbook.  This activity is designed to fine tune technology skills and allow the creative expression of the trooper to shine.

Reporter

The reporter is responsible for writing a troop newsletter as well as sending photos and write ups to the local media.  Reporters are also frequently in charge of the troop website and social media.  This activity is designed to fine tune technology skills and allow the creative expression of the trooper to shine.

Buddy Leader

The Buddy Leaders lead a group between 4 to 8 students and are in charge of making sure all areas are ready for the meeting.  Chores are to be done in a timely fashion.  The Buddy Leader should delegate to the group what responsibilities should be done so that the meeting can start on time.  Also, if younger troopers need help the Buddy Leader should constantly keep an eye on creating an atmosphere of teamwork.  The same goes for playtime after the meeting.  It is the job of the Buddy Leader to ensure no S-HRS plays alone.  This activity is designed to increase the social skills of the troopers.

Teamwork

Collectively we work together to complete home base learning objectives and community badges.  

Individuals

It is our personal responsibility to complete at home learning activities.  Once your activities are done you are to take what you learned to your groups.  Individuals may also participate in creating a unique homebased cross-cultural learning project to be submitted to your chapter.  The chapters will pick the best projects to submit to regionals.  

Groups or Troops

Groups discuss activities done at home.  Groups are where are youth share and demonstrate their home learning.  In the groups we stretch our thinking beyond what we learned at home and incorporate new findings to better understand each other and the world.  We ask each group to develop their own manifesto.  We also do team building activities as groups to build stronger bonds.  The group is highly encouraged to complete community service projects which also act as team builds.

It is our primary goal that every group investigate a local culture that is different from their own the first semester.  The second semester it is our goal for the troop to investigate a global group.  Usually at the end of the first semester there is a small cultural fair or festival located at a library or park for the students to display their individual and group projects.  

At the end of the year there is an Awards show to celebrate the cultural presentations and community service projects.

Chapters

Chapters are usually a collection of groups or a state with all of its groups that meet with the goal of diving into deeper projects and even more outreach programs that build unity.  Chapters are usually the gatekeepers of the local community philanthropy project and awards.

Regions

Handle the awards given for the best homebased cultural learning project and local community projects submitted by the chapters.

National Leadership

Our National Board of Trustees (NBT) brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from across the country in homeschooling, business, technology, finance, marketing, nonprofits, and a multitude of educational resources.  To be on our board we require a love of children and a background relevant to our cause.

Our Senior Leadership Team at our National Headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona work across the country with our nationwide councils to support their homebased learning and outreach programs that reach beyond home base.

Our National Student Advisory Board (NSAB) is composed of 20 youth from around the country.  The NSAB Chair serves as a full advisory member of the National Board of Trustees.  The Chair is also responsible for leading quarterly meetings using virtual teleconferencing technology to organize the annual NSAB Philanthropy Project.

National Student Advisory Board is responsible for selecting one project from the entire nation to hail as the cross-cultural learning project of the year.  Nationals also coordinates its own philanthropy project to present to the National Board of Trustees. Nationals will also designate a community service-based theme that all chapters must complete once a semester. It is also the job of the NSAB to communicate to the NBT the interests of the students in our chapters.

Patriotism 

Patriotism or national pride is the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment. We promote a love for taking care of not just home first, but also homeland.  We believe that global outreach is important but prioritize it after our community-based projects except in a state of global emergency.

Community Service

Community Service is a focus within S-HRS because those who know how to give gain an understanding of being self-less and building a world that is stronger together.  Every group is asked to do at least two community service projects per semester.  One is based upon the theme the NSAB gives to SHRS and the other is self-choice.
