Other offices such as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader help the troop leaders carry out their required duties. And still other troop positions such as Historian, Librarian, Instructor, and Recruiter are appointed by the Scoutmasters and Patrol Leaders Council. The junior leadership present within Troop 202 serves many functions. It teaches boys about responsibility and commitment. The officers learn to respect all scouts for their talents and abilities, while working to improve weaknesses, and the troop learns the importance of respect for authority.
All work is done by the scouts, and they reap all the rewards.
The advantages of junior leadership can be seen in the success of each and every scout. The Camping Troop Troop 202 has become known as the camping troop for good reason. The scouts participate in a year round camping program which includes one camp out every month, a summer camp, a long summer trip, and frequent visits to camporees. This provides boys with an excellent experience as well as frequent opportunities to view nature and build camaraderie with other boys. The rank of Eagle Scout is the highest rung on the scouting ladder which a boy may attain.
