PLS

PLS is conducted as a multi-troop course where the participants form patrols and function throughout the weekend as normal Scout Troop under the guidance of experienced Scout Leaders. Each patrol cooks their own meals from food provided by the Commissary. Discussion groups are held on the jobs and responsibilities of the Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, and Senior Patrol Leader. In addition, the scouts learn how to conduct Patrol Meetings and Patrol Leader Council Meetings and how to plan and run a campfire. A portion of the weekend is spent participating in a Scout Skills Show & Do which covers several outdoor skills. The weekend concludes with a Scout Skills Rally where the skills the scouts learned in the Show & Do are put to the test.
