Graham W. tapped by the troop’s members to be the new ASPL

We had a fine group of candidates running for the ASPL position this time and any one of them would have done a good job (and we hope that all of them will get their chance).  In the end, congratulations are extended to Graham W. for being selected by the troop’s youth membership to become our next Assistant Senior Patrol Leader.

In Troop 108 we elect the ASPL who serves in that capacity for 6 months while learning from and assisting the current Senior Patrol Leader.  After 6 months the ASPL steps up to become the SPL and a new ASPL is selected.

As a side note, because of the demands of the award winning marching band programs in Fort Mill School District, the troop adult leaders long ago decided that a scout that is participating in high school band programs can run for ASPL during the Summer election rotation but not the Winter election rotation.  This prevents the troop from having a scout that has a strong commitment to the high school band program in the SPL position in the fall of the year.
