Lead with Purpose.

Troop leaders are the backbone of the program. They are the ones who show up every week, earn the trust of young people, and model what it looks like to walk with honor. If you are called to this work, we want you.

What leaders do

The role of a troop leader

🏅

Award Badges

Leaders award badges through the Scout Portal dApp. All transactions are gasless — leaders never pay fees. The system handles $TRIBE rewards automatically.

👥

Enroll Scouts

Leaders manage their troop's enrollment, issue Scout Passport NFTs to new members, and maintain the troop's on-chain record of activities and achievements.

📋

Log Service Hours

Leaders verify and log service hours for scouts. Every 10 hours triggers an automatic $TRIBE reward deposited directly to the scout's custodial wallet.

🎓

Deliver Curriculum

Leaders deliver the four-pillar curriculum — leadership, heritage, outdoor skills, and community service — through structured activities, mentorship, and group learning.

🗳

Participate in DAO

Certified leaders hold a seat on the Leader Council — one of three DAO chambers. Leaders vote on curriculum changes, event scheduling, and operational decisions.

🌐

Represent the Program

Leaders are the public face of the program in their city. They build community partnerships, recruit new families, and carry the program's values into the world.
