What are troop officers?
Troop officers are those Scouts that have specific jobs to do within the troop. The most obvious one is that of Senior Patrol Leader (SPL). There are many others: Quartermaster, Scribe, Historian, Librarian, Den Chief to name just a few. The troop cannot function without these officers and in order to advance in rank, each Scout has to hold one of these offices and successfully fulfill its duties.
