"Train 'em, trust 'em, let 'em lead."
In a scout-led troop there are many opportunities for young people to gain leadership practice. This Sunday, Troop 405 Scouts will elect their next Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) as well as patrol leaders and other troop roles, all of whom serve for six months. Also twice a year, Scouts gather to learn about specific leadership roles and develop skills needed to lead effectively, such as goal setting, fostering teamwork, and teaching. And in between, patrols work as teams to organize troop meeting activities, and individual Scouts take charge of monthly outings.
Visit Troop 405 at our next regular troop meeting, April 12 at 6pm.
