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 meets on the first Tuesday of each month to discuss and assign responsibilities for that month's activities.

The Patrol Leaders' Council is composed of the following members: Senior Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leaders, Scribe, Historian and Quartermaster. Other Scouts may be invited to specific PLC Meetings for special purposes. The Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters also attend PLC Meetings in an advisory capacity. However, no other Scouts or Adults are permitted. The Troop Committee interacts with the Patrol Leaders' Council through the Scoutmaster.

The Senior Patrol Leader runs the meeting, and each Patrol Leader reports on new members, Advancement progress, and anything his Patrol has done since the last Patrol Leader’s Council. At the end of each meeting, the Scoutmaster closes the proceedings with a general assessment of the meeting's important points.
