1 Troop 520 What Can I Do As A Scout To Strengthen The Troop? Chartered by VFW Post 4015, Newberg, OR.

2 What Can I Do As A Scout To Strengthen The Troop? Leadership is not only knowing what you need to do to succeed but also knowing what to do if things go wrong. Working well with others is perhaps the most important life skill that you can learn. You will gain confidence by being entrusted with power and in leading your peers. You will learn that your leadership style needs to evolve from Explaining, to Demonstrating, to Guiding, and finally to Enabling as the group develops into a working team. A Boy Scout Troop is a microcosm of democracy-in-action. Its key leaders are elected by their peers, and then provide direction through the Troop s essential operating units: Its PATROLS. The Patrol Method is not a way of running a Scout troop; it is the ONLY way of running a Scout Troop. Without The Patrol Method, there is no Scouting. - Lord Robert S.S. Baden-Powell of Gilwell With the Scoutmaster s guidance, Scouts form themselves into Patrols, plan the Troop s annual, monthly, and individual meeting programs, and bring these to life. For this to happen, the Troop relies on Scouts serving in key positions of responsibility, to make up the PATROL LEADERS COUNCIL (aka PLC ). The PLC is the primary operational/program decision-making body of the Troop. Think you ve got what it takes to be a leader? 2 Document Rev. 1, 29-Oct-2014
