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?

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".

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.
