My PLC meetings usually consist of me, my ASPL, my Troop Guide/ASPL, and Patrol Leaders. We do invite the full troop though. Along with 2-3 scoutmasters. We meet every month after our Campouts. We plan our program for meetings for the next month or two. And we plan our Campouts as well. Lately we’ve been working on planning a High Adventure, mostly it consists of anything that needs to get done.

Yes. I’ve been to NYLT, NLS with OA, and years of experience in my troop as ASPL and attending and helping to plan events prior to becoming SPL.

@RememberSchiffWhat do you mean?

I am the SPL of my troop and my troop has a bit of time every meeting where we don’t have a planned activity. Usually we’ve just let scouts go outside and run around but this is less than ideal to learning and practicing scout skills. My Scoutmaster has provided me with a type of folder called a BattleBoard. It has a plastic space on the outside to put a map in and plenty of space inside to store papers or other tools. He’s suggested we put a map, compass, rope, other essential items inside along with envelopes labeled with a number. I’d be able to tell scouts to get the BattleBoard and envelope number 5, this envelope could have an activity related to some scout skill(maybe a compass course). It’d make a good system to give scouts a task on the fly. I’m having trouble coming up with potential ideas for activities I could assign these scouts to do. Does anyone have any good activities or advice to solve this problem? Thanks so much.
