Annual Program Planning Conference

Once a year, the Patrol Leader's Council meets to plan the long-term goals for the troop. Before the meeting, Patrol Leaders need to get input from their patrols and evaluate their patrol members progress. A plan that helps each boy participate, advance and have fun is more likely to succeed than a plan that does what the Patrol Leader wants to do.
