Among the rights that we hold dear in this Republic we call the United States of America is the right to cast a vote towards the selection of lleaders who represent us in the Executive and Legislative branches of our government. Likewise, tonight you have cast a vote to select your leadership in the Troop and your Patrols. For the newly-elected leaders, your fellow Scouts have entrusted you to represent them in the Patrol Leader Council and to make sound decisions regarding planning of events, running of Patrol Corners, and the execution of campouts and other outdoor events. You are charged to be present, be engaged, be wise, and be fair. With your leadership, the Troop runs; with your absence, the organization suffers. Be the leader that inspires others.
A Scout is Trustworthy.
