February Recap

February was an exciting and jam-packed month for Troop 12. We're not ones to let the cold winter temps stop us from having fun and doing exciting things. First up, leader elections took place on February 10th. Every six months, the troop elects a new set of patrol and other leaders for the Troop. Scouts must prepare and deliver a speech to the troop. Afterwards, all scouts present vote to elect the new leaders. Congratulations to the new Senior Patrol Leader, Austin B.,
