Troop 761 At A Glance

• Currently Troop 761 has 55 scouts and 44
  registered adults, which includes 28 Assistant
  Scoutmasters
• Our Charter Organization is Christian Fellowship
  Church
• We meet here, at Christian Fellowship Church,
  700PM 830PM on Monday nights
• Unlike what you are used to in Cub scouts, this
  troop is boy run. Boy run means that you and
  your peers decide what the troop does, when we do
  it, and how (with help from the adults)

Troop Organization

• The Troop is organized around Patrols (much like
  your cub scout dens). These patrols operate
  independently of one another, but remain
  connected as a unit
• The Troop elects a Senior Patrol Leader, who in
  turn appoints his Assistant Senior Patrol Leader.
  Together, they have the responsibility of
  leading the troop
• Each patrol elects their own Patrol Leader who
  provides leadership to their patrol.
• The Senior Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior
  Patrol Leader and the Patrol Leaders make up the
  troops Patrol Leader Council, or PLC. The PLC
  with the help of the Scoutmaster and Assistant
  Scoumasters, plan out and execute the Troops
  program
