Position of Responsibility Absentee Form and Heads up for Wednesday

Enclosed is a copy of the form that I created for this week's elections.  Because our troop is growing larger, I thought it best to explore a better way to do elections.  I will be following the recommendations in the Scoutmasters Manual that I was given.

The Scoutmaster’s manual says this:  “How Are Leaders Selected?

Senior Patrol Leader: The youth leader with the most responsibility in a troop is the senior patrol leader. He is elected by all members of the troop.

Assistant Senior Patrol Leader:With the approval of the Scoutmaster, the assistant senior patrol leader is appointed by the senior patrol leader.

Patrol Leaders: One patrol leader is elected by the members of each patrol.

Other Troop Positions (Quartermaster, scribe, Order of the Arrow troop representative, historian, librarian, etc.)

… the senior patrol leader selects the Scout who will hold each position.

    Scoutmaster’s Handbook – Chapter 3 “The Boy Led Troop” 2010 Printing”

If your scout is already a Den Chief, that is his position of responsibility until April when the next election is. 
If your scout is elected a Patrol leader on Wednesday, that will be his position of responsibility.  
Senior Patrol Leader is elected by the scouts in April, ASPL's are appointed by the SPL in April.  Elections will be in held in March but will not take effect until April Court of Honor.  

Please see attached form.  I will have forms to pass out at the meeting.  Senior Patrol Leader's decision is final.
