The Troop Information Program Survey (TIPS) is a document that people looking for a Boy Scout Troop, like a transitioning Webelos in Cub Scouts or someone interested in joining Boy Scouts, can use to help organize their thoughts and determine if a particular Troop is a good fit.

There are a few things to consider in choosing a Boy Scout Troop. If you are new to Boy Scouts, you probably don't have the experience or knowledge to know what kind of questions that you should ask when you visit a Boy Scout Troop.

This document was designed to assist people in knowing what things they should consider in finding a compatible Boy Scout Troop.

It is divided into 7 sections:

1. Meetings
2. Troop Background
3. Troop Organization
4. Outdoor program
5. Finances & Fundraising
6. Advancement
7. Parent participation
