Staff Patrol

this wiki

After completing a term (or two) as a patrol leader, scouts graduate out of their patrols and into the staff patrol. Staff is the senior leadership of the troop and is the pool from which the Senior Patrol Leader and other troop-wide positions are drawn.

Staff DutiesEdit

Staff's primary responsibility is to help teach the younger scouts. Though they may be out of their old patrols and no longer directly lead, it does not mean they can't still interact with the younger scouts and aid them in advancement.

Staff also serves an important advisory role. Just as the Scoutmaster watches over the SPL and his staff, the staff supervises and advises the patrol leaders. In many cases, these staff members had been the patrol leaders just months before. They know the patrol members and they have recent experience as patrol leaders.

At Troop Meetings the staff patrol also performs a uniform inspection on the rest of the patrols. The staff patrol also judges the Birthday events.

Staff JobsEdit

Most staff members also take on additional duties. These positions of responsibility are:

Senior Patrol Leader - The highest ranking member of the Troop. He oversees all the patrols including his own staff.

Assistant Senior Patrol Leader - Second in command to the SPL, the ASPL aids the SPL in his duties. (There can be more than one ASPL at one tme)

Scribe - The scribe is responsible for handling the points in the Inter Patrol Contest, tracking inspection scores, and overseeing the scoring of the patrols during the Birthday.

Quartermaster (QM) - Often split into numerous positions, the quartermasters are responsible for physically maintaining the Troop. The ranks can be split into QM of uniforms, equipment, grounds, and sometimes Canoe Barn.

Order of the Arrow Representative (OA Rep) - Responsible for organizing the OA election and OA tap-out. He is also expected to regularly attend OA weekends and maintain communications with our lodge.
