Troop Elections

As part of a scout run troop, periodic elections take place to select the junior leaders of our troop. The positions of Senior Patrol Leader and Patrol Leader are filled by troop elections, where each scout has one vote for Senior Patrol Leader and one vote for the leader of his patrol. Scouts elected to these positions will appoint their assistants and will serve for six months. All other Junior Leader positions are appointed by the Senior Patrol Leader in consultation with the Scoutmaster.

Anyone wishing to hold a Junior Leadership position must complete a troop leadership application, indicating the position he would like to hold, his qualifications and a description of what he would like to accomplish. All candidates must meet the minimum requirements set by the troop.

Elected candidates must maintain the requirements for the position throughout their term in office. Failure to do so will result in removal from office. A scout removed from office may reapply during the next election cycle.

For more information on the position requirements, go to the Junior Leader Positions page.

To be considered for a Junior Leader position, complete the application form and return to the Scoutmaster.
