For new parents (and a refresher for everyone else) last year, Troop 508 started a  “Coup Program” (pronounced ‘coo’) that many troops across the country are using.

This is a great way for you (Scouts and uniformed leaders) to show off your participation in the troop.  Beads (coups) will be issued at the end of activities for those in attendance.

There will be an “event coup” (depending on the type of event) and a “weather coup” (depending, of course, on the weather) presented at the end of each event.

Event	Weather
Troop : Brown	Good : Blue
District : Yellow	Rain : Black
Council : Light Blue	Winter Precip : White
National : Light Green	Over 100 : Orange
High Adventure : Dark Green	Below 32 : Purple
Weeklong Camp : Red	Below 0 : Clear
Advanced Training : White Star

A couple notes:  These coups will be presented at the activity at the adult leadership’s discretion (when it comes to weather).  Coups will be presented for events the troop is taking part in.  Stars are at leader discretion.  This is intended to be fun, and a form of encouragement for both leaders and youth.
