Instructor

The Troop Instructor teaches Scout skills when needed (and upon request from the PLC or the Scoutmasters).

Each instructor is an older troop member proficient in a Scouting skill. He must also

have the ability to teach that skill to others. An instructor typically teaches subjects that

Scouts are eager to learn—especially those such as first aid, camping, and

backpacking—that are required for outdoor activities and rank advancement. A troop

can have more than one instructor.
