September will bring new and exciting facets to Troop 24 including new patrols, meeting plans, and senior leadership. We will hold elections for Senior Patrol Leader and Patrol Leaders at our first Troop meeting on Thursday, September 5th. Scouts who want to be considered for senior troop positions should review the troop job descriptions on the Troop 24 website and speak with the Scoutmaster.

The most important position in the Troop is that of Senior Patrol Leader. Your PLC has established the minimum eligibility requirements for the Senior Patrol Leader. Any scout who wishes to be considered for the SPL position for the 2019-20 year should contact Scoutmaster Lauger at tim@lauger.com

The Minimum SPL Eligibility Requirements as established by your Patrol Leaders Council are:
• The SPL shall hold the rank of Star, Life or Eagle at the time of selection.
• The SPL shall be at least a high school sophomore or 15 years of age or older.
• The SPL shall have held the position of Asst. Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, or Den Chief in the past.
• The SPL must make Scouting his primary commitment and commit to attending every Thursday meeting throughout the year.
• The SPL must commit to attending, planning and leading every Patrol Leaders Council meeting throughout the year.

At the September 5th troop meeting, candidates will have an opportunity to speak to the troop about why they would like to become the Senior Patrol Leader. Following elections, the new SPL will select his Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. All patrols will select their Patrol leaders and Assistant Patrol Leaders.

Troop Jobs are required for all scouts of rank First Class and above. Please make sure you attend this important troop meeting so that you can participate in elections and troop job selections.
