Patrol Leader Training

 

JOBS IN THE PATROL


Give each member of your Patrol a job. Some of the jobs that need doing:

>

Patrol Leader

> Assistant Patrol Leader
> Patrol Treasurer
> Patrol Quartermaster
> Patrol Scribe/Secretary
> Patrol First aider
> Patrol Corner Upkeep
> Patrol Librarian/Researcher

Each of the jobs in the Patrol have a certain level of responsibility therefore each of the jobs are suited to particular levels of experience.

It would be unfair to land a new recruit with the job of quartermaster whereas the Patrol corner upkeep would be a better starting point.`

The jobs of the Patrol should change, perhaps yearly, so that the members of your Patrol have an opportunity to learn from each position.

It is normally a wise decision to keep yourself and your assistant Patrol Leader free from the regular jobs of the Patrol so that you can keep an overview of the situation prevailing in the Patrol.

Other work will have to be done which will keep you and your assistant busy for example training in new recruits or planning Patrol meetings and activities such as hikes, camps and menus.
