"Patrols are the basic operating unit for our troop and are key to the
success of our troop."
Patrols are made up of similar-age boys.
Each patrol has 7-8 boys.
We have three type of patrols:
1. New patrols - First year scouts. A troop guide will work with each new patrol as the patrol
leader to teach the new scouts the workings of Boy Scouting.
2. Experienced Scouts - These patrols go up to 8th grade
3. Venture Patrols - These scouts are in 9th grade or above.
We encourage patrols to have their own activities in addition to troop activities. This year
we will be working towards assigned patrol equipment, inter-patrol competitions, and patrol
camping.
Each patrol will be able to plan one unique, special adventure outside the normal monthly
adventures. This adventure should be designed around the specific desires of the boys in
the patrol. All adventures must be approved by the Scoutmaster and must have at least two
adults present (one must be a Scoutmaster.)
