Scoutmaster Minute
Leadership is a key element of Scouting, especially as a Scout seeks to complete the ranks of Star, Life and Eagle. On March 3, we will begin the process of transitioning to the Spring 2020 term by electing a new Senior Patrol Leader and Patrol Leaders. All those planning to run for SPL should see me at the next meeting. All Scouts are encouraged to consider several positions of responsibility that they would like to full in support of the Troop from April 1- October 1 and be prepared to signup on March 3.

Uniform Class A
Patrol Leaders and others in position of responsibility should arrive with one or more meeting plan/activity using the attached template.
Since we will likely have New Scouts joining us over the next several weeks, a few of the meetings should be oriented with their participation in mind.
The link below can help with meeting ideas that can make for combination of scout skills and fun.
PRIORITY: The attached meeting plan template will be used by ASM Programs and SPL for all meetings. If you can bring a draft to the PLC meeting, it will improve the flow and allow us to look ahead a little further to some other events.
