Re: Where to put SPL

In my personal troop, we still use the name "leadership corps" but it does
not have the same job as it did about 10 years ago...it is just a name of
a patrol...the SPL, ASPL, any JASM's are put into this patrol...it allows
the rest of the troop to easily recognize who is the core (or corps)
leadership of the troop....we have not in past years because we were
small, now we're over 50 youth strong, put the QM, Scribe, etc. into the
Leadership Corps, but they really should...and the Leadership Corps eats
with whichever patrol they're invited to eat with...
