Bugler Description and Self Evaluation

January 6, 2021 Leave a Comment

The Bugler plays the bugle at troop ceremonies. Bugler  is one of those positions that many troops don’t fill. There was a troop next to us at the last camporee with a Bugler, and there is something really nice about hearing Taps played at lights out. Bugler can be used as a position of responsibility for the ranks of Star or Life, but not for the rank of Eagle.

The description and requirements below are an example. Adjust them as necessary to meet the needs of your troop. The printable copy also includes a self evaluation form for the position.
