Who selects the boy leaders?
The troop scouts elect junior leaders for terms of office once every six months. Elections are held in September and March. Terms of office begin and end at the October Court of Honor and the April Court of Honor. Some offices on the Troop level have eligibility requirements but offices on the Patrol level do not. The Senior Patrol Leader is the leader of the Troop. He is responsible for setting the agenda and conducting the troop meetings and Patrol Leader Council meetings. He is assisted by 3 Assistant Senior Patrol leaders. Two are elected by troop members and the third is appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader. Other elected positions are Instructors, Guides, Chaplains, Scribes, Quartermasters, Grubmasters, Historians, Librarians, Patrol Leaders and Assistant Patrol Leaders. Older scouts who have served terms as Senior Patrol Leaders or Assistant Senior Patrol leaders become Junior Assistant Scoutmasters.
