| What Is the Patrol Leaders' Council? |
| Junior leaders make up the patrol leaders council - the board of directors, so to speak. It's the decision-making team. The patrol leaders' council plans the annual program, then the weekly meetings leading up to the monthly outdoor adventure. In addition to the material found in this chapter, there is a lot of useful information on the importance of proper planning in Chapter 9, "Planning Is the Key". |
| Together, members of the patrol leaders' council address the needs of each patrol and the general problems that involve the patrols and the troop. As a member of the patrol leaders' council, you represent the whole troop. When the patrol leaders' council meets, you get a chance to express your desires (and those of your patrol members). |
| The Leader of the Patrol Leaders' Council |
| The senior patrol leader is the top junior leader in the troop. With the advice of the Scoutmaster, he leads the patrol leaders' council and chairs its meetings, usually once each month. |
