The Patrol Leaders’ Council

A Troop should always be led by its elected boy leaders. With the guidance of the Scoutmaster and his assistants, the boy leaders plan the program, conduct troop meetings, and provide leadership among their peers. The Patrol Leaders’ Council (PLC), not the adult leaders, is responsible for planning and conducting the Troop’s meetings and activities.

The members of the Troop elect one of their own to serve as the Senior Patrol Leader. To give more Scouts the opportunity to lead, once a year, the current Troop 505 Assistant Senior Patrol Leader moves into the Senior Patrol Leader position and the Troop elects a new Assistant Senior Patrol Leader.

Your Role in the Patrol Leaders’ Council

The Patrol Leaders’ Council is made up of the Senior Patrol Leader, who presides over the meetings; the Assistant Senior Patrol Leader and all Patrol Leaders, with the support of the Troop Scribe and the Troop Guides. As a Patrol Leader, you serve as the voice of your Patrol. During PLC Patrol Leaders should present the ideas and concerns of your patrol and in turn share the decisions of the Patrol Leaders’ Council with your Patrol.

Patrol Leaders’ Council Meetings

The Troop’s meeting programs and activities are selected and planned at the annual program planning conference. The troop’s yearly plan is then submitted to the Troop Committee for approval. The Troop Committee either approves the plan or makes alternative suggestions for the Patrol Leaders’ Council to consider. At its monthly meetings, the PLC fine-tunes the plans for the upcoming month by organizing and assigning responsibilities for the weekly Troop meeting program and planning the details of any upcoming Troop activities. The Troop Committee should always interact with the PLC through the Scoutmaster.

Troop 505’s Applebee’s Flapjack Fundraiser Sep 13

a message from Troop 505 TLC member, Lisa Vook

We need as many scouts as possible to volunteer that morning and EVERYONE to sell tickets for the breakfast.  Now is the time to get active and drum up business.  You will be getting emails every couple of days to update you on our progress.  We will give a count to Applebee’s of how many tickets we have sold by Wed Sept 10^th.

Last year we had a great time and we want to have even more customers.  The way the fundraiser works is we have customers come in with prepaid tickets or buy tickets at the door and we give Applebee’s $2 for each customer and they receive 3 pancakes, two sausages and unlimited coffee, tea and soft drinks.  They provide a couple of cooks in the back to make the food and we serve the customers and clean up.  Disposable items are used and we help clean up at 10am so they can open for their customers.

The $7 ticket will be divided up $2 for Applebee’s, $2 for troop(small tip for staff in back out of these funds), $2 to person who sold ticket or customers who you invited and say they are supporting you., $1 for workers plus tips collected are also divided between workers(scouts who are serving)  For people who don’t come to the meal but purchase tickets $4 for the troop, $2 for ticket seller and $1 for workers.  People who come that day and are supporting scouting in general will have $3 be divided between the workers.  Hopefully this will be a great fundraiser for our troop- we had the goal of raising $1000 for the troop this year.  Also it emphasizes that we need to sell tickets and have the place hopping with customers to have the most successful morning.  We will make signs at the next troop meetings to advertise ahead of time.

Link to make your tickets and fliers!  It worked for me- I’ll check this message to see if it works for you.  Keep track of the tickets you sell and turn in $.  Put your name on the ticket so we can give you credit- and super bragging rights for the scout who has the most customers come to visit them!

Email me with who can come help serve on Saturday September 13^th from 7-10am. lmvook@earthlink.net
