While not responsible for advancement until a scout reaches First Class, being a first-year PL or APL is still important. They help the SPL by calling their patrol members to inform them of events or last minute details. They provide input at the PLC, helping the SPL choose troop activities for meetings, campouts, service projects, etc that their patrol is interested in. The Assistant Patrol Leader is the backup for the Patrol Leader. He performs the Patrol Leaders duties when he is not available.
