How does a Scout get a leadership position in the Troop? What are the responsibilities of the youth Leadership?

Each Troop handles the selection differently for those positions. For the positions that are not elected, we usually assign them to a Scout who shows an interest in filling the position, as long as they meet the requirements, which vary by position. And as far as the responsibilities of each position, the Senior Patrol Leader and the Green Bar Patrol run the Troop. They are responsible for conducting the weekly meetings and setting the agenda of future meetings at the PLC meeting the third Monday of the Month. The Patrol Leader runs his Patrol and works with the SPL (Senior Patrol Leader) and Green Bar at the PLC to set future agendas.

As for the rest of the positions, well that is a pretty in depth answer. We will be posting responsibilities by position on the Website.
