Program is an important part of your scouting experience. There are specific leadership
requirements associated with rank advancement so you should familiarize yourself with
these requirements.
Our Junior Leadership Team is made up of boys who are responsible for the operations
of Troop 132. Every boy in the troop will have a chance to hold one of the many
leadership positions available.
Our Scoutmasters Adult Leadership Team (SALT) is responsible for teaching the boys the
many skills of scouting and to advise the junior leaders and the troop in their journey
through scouting. We have a special member of the SALT team focused on leadership to
help teach and grow our leaders. The current SALT advisor for the Troop 132 Leadership
Program is Mr. Ken Rapp. He is a coach and mentor for our boy leaders.
The Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) is our core troop leadership team. The PLC is chaired
by the Senior Patrol Leader and includes all of the patrol leaders responsible for leading
our patrols. Also attending the PLC is the Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, the Troop
Quartermaster, Troop Adventure Guide and the Troop Scribe. The PLC meets once a
month with the Scoutmaster to plan the activities for the upcoming month. The
Scoutmaster (Mr. Gruber) acts as the key advisor to the PLC.
We also have several other leadership positions in the troop that are very important to the
operations of the troop. We call these positions our Special Teams Leaders. Our Special
Teams program provides leadership for the other key junior troop leaders responsible for
our Equipment, Adventures, Library, and History. This team is chaired by the Asst. Senior
Patrol Leader and is made up of the Troop Scribe, Troop Quartermaster, Troop Adventure
Guide, Troop Librarian, and Troop Historian. Mr. Rapp, is the SALT advisor for this team.
