Scout Leadership
Troop 95 Leadership.
Teaching leadership skills is fundamental to the Scouting program; the Scouts are the real troop
leaders, not the adults. The Scouts guide the direction of the program. They elect Patrol leaders
from their group. The Patrols carry out many activities under elected Scout leadership. As a
Scout progresses in Scouting, his first leadership opportunities will be at the Patrol level. With
leadership experience at the Patrol level, he may move on to a troop level position.
The Senior Patrol Leader (SPL), Assistant Sr. Patrol Leader (ASPL), Scribe, Patrol leaders, and Troop Guide meet to plan the troop meetings and campouts. This is the PLC meeting, which stands for Patrol Leaders Council. The Scoutmaster and an Assistant Scout Master attend the PLC. The Scoutmaster and Troop Committee retain veto power over decisions made by the PLC. This is exercised only when plans would violate Scouts BSA policy or jeopardize the safety and well-being of Troop members.
