Journal T2.1.B Active roles

1. Patrol Member - The patrol member is the basic building block of the patrol. I believe that each patrol member is equal and as important as the next. It is the patrol members that forms the community and brotherhood of scouts, and each others scouting life. As a scout/patrol member for the last 2 and a half years, I've realized the importance of building up each others scouting life. This could come easily, such as encouraging each other to never give up, or teaching skills to one another. 
2. Patrol Leader - As the patrol leader for my patrol, I value it as an important job. Not only do I have to hold my patrol members accountable for their progress, they in turn also holds me responsible for their progress. It is my duty to ensure that I can be a role model for others to follow, like most leaders, and to be able to lead them when we are outside comfort-zones, and lost in without instructions. I feel the most important thing about being a PL is to be able to build good rapports within my patrol, not just from me to them, but also between themselves, as this is one of the most basic foundations laid down by BP.
3. Training Secretary - Since 2013, i was the training secretary for the troop. Although i was the training Sec, there were two other training secretaries; thus i was spoon-fed for a large part. Even though there were no one to help me this year, I feel that I've been taking the back seat, and not pushing the other scouts to strive for their proficiency badges and SS, ASS, etc. Even though its a little late, iI hope that by the end of my term, i would be able to help more scouts accomplish more badges, maintaining out FCSA Gold.
