• The PURPOSE is learning LIFE SKILLS

– Leadership
– Project Ownership
– Personal Responsibility and Accountability
– Responsibility and Commitment to Others
• Best way to learn life skills is:
– Projects (requires thinking and planning)
– As a member of a Team (one for all, all for one)
– With a defined Role and and Goal (accountability)


Purpose
• Define MEANINGFUL roles to
– Help run the Troop better

skills

POSSIBLE

Other Ways to Grow Positions
• Additional Committees
– Ideas?
• Expand Guide Group to Include Den
Chiefs (4-5 new leaders)
• Create an additional patrol
– Split Venture Patrol (2 new leaders)


Why This Will Work
• Clear, concise and understood
responsibilities
• Shares the load across the Troop
• Will point out who IS and who ISN’T doing
what needs to be done


How This Could Fail
• Skipped planning sessions
– It will be required as part of rank
• Adult tendency to take over when things are not going
well
– Communicate expectation to adults, reason why
• Lack of responsibility
– Means to replace those who don’t perform
– Well defined accountability means easy to see who is and isn’t
doing job right away
– Need to hold people accountable and have them own their job
• Could make Troop smaller
– More motivated Scouts
– Could have opposite effect in attracting more committed youth


Troop Meeting Schedule
• Opening: 5 minutes (Pledge, Oath, Law, Cheer)
• Committee or Patrol Updates: 5-10 minutes (2-3
minutes each max)
• Troop Activity/Presentation/Speaker: 20-30
minutes
• Committee Time/Patrol Time/Instruction: 20-30
minutes
• Game: 10-15 minutes
• SPL Remarks: 2-3 minutes
• SM Remarks: 2-3 minutes
• Final Words, Close: 5 minutes


So, What are the Next Steps?
• Plan for Elections
– Troop
– Patrol
• Form Committee Teams
– Bid on positions
– Review and Sign Job Descriptions
– Adult Advisors for Each Team
• Start Cadence of Every Other Week
– Committee Meeting/Guide Advancement Topics
– Patrol meetings and patrol activities


Don’t Let This Be YOU!

A Chain Can Only Be So Strong as
Its Weakest Link
