The Patrol Leaders’ Council

The patrol leaders’ council, not the adult leaders, is responsible for planning and conducting the troop's activities.  The patrol leaders' council (PLC) is composed of the following voting members:

• Senior patrol leader

• Assistant senior patrol leader

• Patrol leaders from each patrol

• Troop guide 

At its monthly meetings, the PLC organizes and assigns activity responsibilities for the weekly troop meetings, plans events, and makes recommendations to the Scoutmaster.  The Troop Committee (adult leaders) interacts with the PLC through the Scoutmaster.   Patrol leaders should be communicating with their patrol members  throughout their leadership term in order to serve as a voice of the patrol.  They represent the patrol, not themselves, in PLC meetings.
