Troop 301,
With the December elections coming soon, we want to prepare all scouts that may want leadership roles in the future.
As stated in BSA policy, ONLY PATROL LEADERS are elected by the patrols they are in and the SENIOR PATROL LEADER is elected by all the scouts in the troop. Most of the rest are “appointed” by the SPL and/or the Scoutmaster.
All positions for election or appointment are to be done “with the scoutmaster’s approval”.
This means that DEN CHIEFS to SPL’s all have to get approval to run or serve.
There is nothing that says that a boy has to serve in a leadership role or that he is entitled to serve. It is, however, a “requirement” for advancement beyond 1st class.
We want all of you who would like to advance and serve the troop as leaders to be prepared and matched to a position they want to do and can complete successfully.
This requires action and effort on the scouts part and this will be discussed at the November PLC.
Don’t miss it! November 1st at 7:30 pm in the church hall where regular meetings are held (Full Class A)
The LEADERSHIP POSITION APPLICATION can be found HERE.
Mr. Bauer
