The activities of our troop are planned by a Patrol Leaders' Council (PLC) made up of our Patrol Leaders, Senior Patrol Leader, Scoutmaster, and other troop leaders. The PLC discusses future meetings and outings for the whole troop. Our Patrol Leader shares ideas that have come from the scouts in each patrol. The PLC considers the suggestions and needs of all the Scouts, then maps out activities for the troop.
