Troop 1 is a “youth-led” organization.  The Senior Patrol Leader and his Assistant Senior Patrol Leader actively lead the Troop meetings and outings. These youth leaders are elected by the boys in the Troop in September of each year. The patrol leaders are also elected by the Troop 1 Scouts. Other leadership positions such as Quartermaster, Librarian, Scribe, Troop Guide, and Webmaster are filled by Scouts who wish to fill these positions.

This leadership team comprises the Patrol Leader Council, or PLC. The PLC meets once a month for a detailed planning meeting, choosing the camping trips and the monthly themes for the troop meetings.
