As the SPL you need to set a good example by:
Wearing the appropriate uniform (Class B is acceptable at PLC)
Showing up on time
Conducting yourself according to the Scout Oath and Law
- Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the meeting and make copies of the agenda for the PLC.
- At the start of the meeting have the Scribe (appoint one if one isn’t present) write the agenda on the board.
- Take attendance – A Scout can only have one role. He can’t be both the QM and the PL of a Patrol. Have him decide on his role and mark the other role as absent.
- Run the meeting
- Keep it on Track / Stick to the Timetable / You should ask someone to be timekeeper and make sure you stick to the agenda
- End on time
Sample Agenda for Meeting
1. Stop/Start/Continue – 15 minutes
2. Review up-coming month’s Meeting Plans – 5 minutes
3. Plan – all meetings until the next PLC; Plan all Campouts until the next PLC – 40 minutes
