Charter Partner Rules

Every Boy Scout Troop has a charter partner, the organization that sponsors the troop.

Solomon Schechter Day School of Essex and Union in West Orange is the chartering organization for Boy Scout Troop 118, West Orange, NJ, in the Orange Mountains District of the Northern New Jersey Council, Boy Scouts of America. The school has the following expectations of all Scouts and Adult Leaders:

1. All Troop, Patrol and individual Scouting activities will be conducted in compliance with acceptable Shabbat activities as defined by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Solomon Schechter Day School of Essex and Union. This includes participation and travel to and from all Scouting activities.
2. All Troop, Patrol and individual Scouting activities will be conducted in compliance with acceptable Kashrut standards as defined by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Solomon Schechter Day School of Essex and Union. This includes food purchased or consumed while traveling to activities and during the activities.
3. All male participants, and any female participants who would normally wear a head covering, must wear either a hat or kipah whenever involved in Scouting activities.
4. It is to be understood that any person wearing a Scout uniform with the Troop number, 118, is a defacto representative of Solomon Schechter Day School of Essex and Union and is thereby expected to behave in a manner consistent with the operating principles of the school.
