Our Troop Structure

Our Troop is structured around the patrol, which consists of Scouts of mixed ages. A Scout usually remains in the same patrol throughout his time in the Troop, though patrol assignments may be adjusted with the approval of the Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) and Scoutmaster. Each patrol elects a Patrol Leader - and optionally an Assistant Patrol Leader - every 6 months in March and September.

The Troop is led by a SPL, who is also elected for a six-month term in March and September. The SPL assigns Scouts to fulfill each troop-wide position (examples include Assistant SPL, Quartermaster, Librarian, Scribe, Historian, Chaplain's Aide, Den Chief, Troop Guide, and Instructors). Scouts who wish to hold one of these positions must submit a written request to the elected SPL. Any Scout needing a leadership position for rank advancement may be assigned one by the SPL at any time following a written request by the Scout.

The SPL, the appointed troop-wide position holders, and the Patrol Leaders together form the Troop Leadership Council (TLC), which meets monthly to plan Troop meetings and outings with support from the Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmasters, and the Troop Committee. Serving in some capacity on the TLC for four to six months is an advancement requirement for all ranks above First Class.
