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.
