Troop Leadership

Troop 1570 has two separate leadership structures: one consisting of Scouts and another consisting of adults. The adult leadership manages the logistics of troop activities, administers rank advancement and awards, maintains troop records and finance, and recruits new Scouts and adult leaders. The youth leadership keeps order and coordinates activities. Scouts and adults (Scouters) cooperate to plan agendas for troop meetings, as well as the troop's schedule of outings.

An adult Scouter may join the troop committee. The committee, in turn, selects a chair and appoints its members to specific positions, most importantly those of the "Scoutmaster" and his assistants. While all Scouters work for the committee chair, the Scoutmaster is the adult directly responsible for the troop's program.

The youth leadership is headed by a senior patrol leader (SPL), who works closely with the Scoutmaster to run troop activities. He is expected to attend most meetings and outings. While the SPL is directly responsible for running the troop, he shares that responsibility with one or more assistants (Assistant Senior Patrol Leaders or ASPLs). Following the Scout method, a troop is "boy-run". Other troop-wide positions of responsibility exist.

The SPL is elected by the entire troop, from a list of candidates approved by the Scoutmaster. He then cooperates with the Scoutmaster to appoint the other troop-wide leaders. Likewise, each patrol elects a Patrol Leader (PL), who appoints his Assistant Patrol Leader(s) (APL). All youth leaders serve six-month terms. Below is a partial list of Troop 1570 Scouters and their contact details. Any Scouter not listed may complete the following permission form and forward it to the troop committie chair who will forward to the webmaster for publication. >>Click here
