Troop Organizational Strucure and “How It Works”
The Troop 354 Organizational Structure ensures that Scouts take the lead while being supported by experienced adult leaders. The Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) oversees the troop with assistance from the Assistant Senior Patrol Leaders (ASPLs) and various youth leadership positions. Patrols operate as small teams, each led by a Patrol Leader, fostering teamwork and responsibility. The Patrol Leaders’ Council (PLC) plans meetings and events while adult leaders, including the Scoutmaster (SM), Troop Committee Chair (CC), and Chartered Organization Representative (COR), provide guidance and support. This structure allows Scouts to develop leadership skills while ensuring the troop runs smoothly and efficiently.
