Troop 4 thanks Aidan Copeland and Jason Ren for completing their term as Senior Patrol Leader and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, respectively. The Troop had elections yesterday; Adult Scout Leaders thank all the scouts who ran for all four positions. We are very proud that our scouts are learning to exercise their leadership skills and about civic engagement. All candidates gave speeches to scouts and parents; everyone learned a lot about the candidates’ participation in scouts and their vision for future scout activities. The Troop’s newly elected leaders are Senior Patrol Leader Christian Kirkendall-Rodríguez, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader Tiago Rodríguez, Assistant Patrol Leader for Community Service and Fundraising Delfina Kirkendall-Rodríguez, and Troop Guide Stella Bowman.
