The Patrol Method

The Patrol Method is the system scouts use to lead their troop. This is key to the troop model- it’s the scouts who lead, plan, operate, and execute the game of scouting.

A troop is organized into patrols, groups of 6-8 scouts who learn skills together, camp together, and operate as a team. Each patrol elects their own leader, who is given full responsibility for the patrol and its members.

The troop elects a Senior Patrol Leader, who is the president of the troop, responsible for overseeing and coordinating the other youth leaders and in charge of the troop’s program.
