PATROL METHOD AND LEADERSHIP in Scouting
One of the chief founding principles of Boy Scouting is the "Patrol
Method." Like all Scout troops, our Troop is divided into
Patrols of about
6 to 10 boys each, with a Patrol Leader elected from within each Patrol. New,
and younger Scouts are also assigned to a special group under the leadership of
the Troop Guide, an older, senior Scout who will help the newer ones get a good
start in the Troop. A Patrol functions as a team and does many activities
together. Competitive events between Patrols is a way of building Patrol spirit
and keeping the Troop strong.
