Domeer23 10 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 What are all of the troop postions for boys? SPL, ASPL QUARTEMASTER ETC. Link to post Share on other sites
rkfrance 11 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Welcome. I know most are listed in the Patrol Leader Handbook. I have not looked but I would imply that they are also listed in the Senior Patrol Leader Handbook, and the Scoutmaster Handbook. Link to post Share on other sites

Prairie_Scouter 10 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I believe that the Handbook also allows the Scoutmaster to create other positions, as needed, within the troop. While not "patched" positions, these qualify a Scout for "time in a leadership position". Regards the list, should Asst Patrol Leader be on there as well? Link to post Share on other sites
nldscout 18 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 The SM can approve leadership project for Star and Life. Not create positions. No, ASPL does not and is not part of list. Link to post Share on other sites
Hunt 11 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Just to be very picky, "Bugler" can be used as a POR for Star and Life rank, but not for Eagle. Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 nldscout - I believe you meant APL, not ASPL. APL is a position, it is just that it does not normally count toward POR requirements for Star, Life and Eagle. The SM has a little latitude on Star and Life. So, for example, let's say the PL disappears one month into his term for whatever reason. This forces the APL to take over and do much of his work. The SM could, IMO, grant him the POR requirement for Star and Life (but not Eagle). I think that would fall under the "Scoutmaster-assigned leadership project". Link to post Share on other sites
Prairie_Scouter 10 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Ah, ok, got it. Thanks for the correction on the SM "creating" positions. Link to post Share on other sites
nldscout 18 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Eagle, Yep, I meant APL. I would agree in your example that he shoould count, but there are some that want a blanket policy on APL counting. We ran into that on an Eagle application a while back. Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 As for creating positions, the most common one I've seen is "webmaster". Several troops have boys rotating through this assignment, and are counting it as a POR for Star and Life. Again, it can't be used for Eagle, but it could be for those two.

rkfrance 11 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Webmaster may be assigned to the Scribe as part of his responsibilities according to the Patrol Leader Handbook under "other troop leader positions". Link to post Share on other sites
