KoreaScouter Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 SPL's 15 1/2, and a retread. Our ASPL's 14, and just did a term as a PL (darn good one, too). Our PLs (excluding NSP, they rotate every month) range from 11 1/2 to 14. Three PLs are retreads, the other two are rookies. KS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shell in WA- USA Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I don't think age matters as much as their rank and experience in the troop. And if the fellow troop members think enough of them to vote them in the position, then they should be given a chance and usually will do well. By default though, our SPLs are usually the older scouts. And in our troop, the Adult counterparts are there to mentor the boy for their success. Like (SPL to SM), (Scribe to Advancement), (Quartermaster to Equipment Chair),etc For us: SPL - 16, Life Assistant - 15, Star Quartermaster - 14, Second Class Scribe - 16, First Class Troop Guides - 14-17, Star or above Chaplian Aide - 15, first class (Yes, we even got on of those this election!) Outing Coordinator - 14, Star PL - 11-18, (depending on age of patrol, we form patrols according to age and when they come in together.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
