During each Scout's journey to Eagle, each Scout has
the opportunity of holding a leadership position in the Troop. Each
Scout has the opportunity to hold any of these positions when the Scout
feels ready to perform the roles and responsibilities of the position.
Each position is outlined below and it is important for each Scout that
currently holds the position as well as Scouts that want to hold the
leadership position, that they understand and accept the roles and
responsibilities of each position.
If a Scout holds a leadership position, the Troop
expects the Scout to perform the duties of the position to their best
abilities. No Scout will be performing these duties alone. There is a
Senior Patrol to assist each leadership position as well as the Troop
Adult Leadership to guide the Scouts in each position.
