Plan

  • What does the White Tail Council, Howler Council or Troop Leadership Team do? How does it make decisions? 
  • How do White Tails, Howlers or Patrol Leaders work with their teams? How do they make sure that everyone can share an idea for an adventure?  
  • What ideas for adventures do you have to share?  
  • How can your Scouters help the SLT? 

Do

  • In teams of six to eight, come up with ideas for adventures you might do as a Section. Rank your ideas.  
  • Next, split up your team into three groups. Each group of people should get together with groups from the other teams.  
  • Pretend that your new group is the Section Leadership Team. What adventures will your Section go on next season? 
  • For Troop, try taking on different roles in the SLT, like Troop Leader, Patrol Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader
