Troop 112

Troop 112 is in the process of becoming a Scout-led troop.  The goal is for the troop's adult leaders to provide guidance, support and limited participation.  Currently adult leaders are directing many activities, while helping develop leadership skills in the youth leaders.  As the scouts gain experience and the troop matures we expect the boys to continuously increase their leadership roles and responsibilities.

Aside from the SPL (selected by the Scoutmaster), Scouts are elected to positions of leadership and responsibility by other scouts.  Once elected, these young men are expected to plan and execute their own scouting programs.  As a troop leader you will: plan and run troop meeting; pick troop outings, where to camp, what to do; plan advancement opportunities for all troop members; and help other scouts along the trail to Eagle. The troop's activities are selected and planned at the monthly program planning meetings.

Elections for youth leaders are held twice each year in January and June for 6-month terms.  Because being a leader is more than just sewing on a patch, we have put together job descriptions for the troop leadership positions, which you can read about here. They will give you a good idea of what each job is all about and what you will be required to do.
