Assistant Senior Patrol Leader(s)
Patrol Leaders
PLC Scribe (Non-Voting Member)

Monthly Meetings
Annual Program Planning
Patrol Meetings - Patrols are given time to meet during the Troop Meetings on a monthly basis. Patrols may also meet outside of the Troop Meetings for fellowship, service, adventure, advancement or for more in-depth planning of upcoming events. Patrols should schedule their Patrol Meetings and Patrol Activities on dates that do not conflict with Troop Events.
National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT)
Summer Camp Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) Training - Many summer camps offer a special SPL training prior to the regular summer camp session. This training prepares the SPL to lead the Troop during summer camp and also in the regular day-to-day operation of the troop. The troop is usually able to pay for a portion of the cost of this valuable program for the SPL and a buddy (usually an ASPL). Check with the Scoutmaster or Committee Chair if you are interested in this program.
