dsteele 20 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 The decision of asking you to become a Junior Assistant Scoutmaster is up to your Scoutmaster. You should ask him about that opportunity and chat with him about what you would like to do once in the position. My question to you is, why would you have to give up the position of SPL? Nothing says the SPL can't be an Eagle Scout. Unc. Link to post Share on other sites
hacimsaalk12 10 Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 our troop by-laws say that once a boy turns eagle he has to give up the SPL. i think it is so that others get a chance at it Link to post Share on other sites
VAordeal 10 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 i would ask your troop commitee when the by-laws will be updated. That rule should not be there. It is not fair and it makes no sense. If anything, an Eagle should be an SPL. Link to post Share on other sites
ljnrsu 10 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 hacimsaalk12, There is an age requirement for JASM. You must be atleast 16 years old. It is listed in the SM handbook Link to post Share on other sites
hendrickms24 20 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I agree with VAordeal! Why would you want to remove the best of the best from a leadership role. The troop voted in the SPL so they should be allowed to have him as their leader for his full term. Mark Maranto Link to post Share on other sites
