As Senior Patrol Leader, I would continue the strong past leadership of Easton, Squirrel, Timothy, and Langley. I would specifically emphasize particular qualities such as solid communications and maintaining a scout-led environment. I would keep a firm chain of command from patrol level jobs to troop level positions to keep a strong leadership in the troop and emphasize the importance of different roles. Similarly, I would like to make sure accountability in leadership is held, from lower positions all the way to the top. I would take into account any inputs or recommendations, no matter where they come from. Finally, I seek the role of Senior Patrol Leadership to continue the strength, history, and effectiveness of Troop 48, to develop my own leadership skills and experience, and to help develop the leadership of other scouts.

I seek the position of SPL because I want to serve Troop 48 more. If I were to be elected, I
would promote service and volunteer activities more. I hope to instill a greater sense of
responsibility and belonging in our community so that all Scouts actively participate in
volunteering opportunities even outside of Scouting.

Paul Taylor

I believe that I would be useful as your SPL for a few reasons. I have pretty good skills and experience in working with all sorts of different kinds of people. I also intend to take the best care of my people I possibly can as SPL, helping them achieve whatever it is they may wish to accomplish in scouting. On top of that I already have the respect of a good majority of the troop, which will make these tasks even easier to accomplish. I will also be of good use in resolving situations between scouts as there is a lot of experience in that from ROTC that I have. I will do my absolute best I can to make these things happen.
