What is Troop Leader
Training? This is a one-weekend event,
conducted by the Scoutmaster (or assistant) and Senior Patrol Leader
to provide leadership guidelines for the youth leadership of the
troop. Training is accomplished with an objective-based workshop
developed by Troop 307's adult leaders. Although the Scoutmaster and
Senior Patrol Leader preside over this training, parents, committee
members, and the chartered organization representative are
encouraged to participate. The red 'traditional size'
neckerchief is given to each participant to show that he has
participated in the course. TLT has the following
purposes: To give each
incoming youth leader an orientation to his place in the troop
staff. To give each
incoming youth leader an introduction to his job requirements. To plan the
program for the upcoming term of the scout year. To introduce new
leaders to the different styles of leadership. To teach and
develop leadership skills. Upon completion of
this training, scouts may wear the "Trained Leader Emblem", No. 280,
on their sleeve below their badge of office.
