Patrols

PATROL METHOD

While individual advancement is an important component of Boy Scouts, the Patrol Method enables a Scout to experience leadership, teamwork and cooperation. Patrols are the building blocks of a Boy Scout Troop. A patrol is a small group of boys who are similar in age, development, and interests. Working together as a team, patrol members share the responsibility for the patrol's success. They gain confidence by serving in positions of leadership. All patrol members enjoy the friendship, sense of belonging, and achievements of the patrol and of each of its members.
