  2. Patrol Method(小隊方法） “The patrol method is not a way to operate a Boy Scout troop - it is the only way. Unless the patrol method is in operation you don’t really have a Boy Scout troop.” ~ Robert Baden-Powell

  3. Patrol Method • Patrols – the building block of Boy Scout troop. • Similar age boys with 5~8 members. • Each boy serves the patrol with his own position. • Patrol takes pride of its identity. • Patrol sometimes joins for troop game, adventure, learn new skill, and complete requirement.

  4. Types of Patrols • New Scout Patrols – for 11-yr old. Work for complete 1st Class requirement. Phase in after 3~6 months. SPL assigns a Troop Guide to NSP. ASM shall work closely with TG. • Regular Patrols – complete 1st Class requirement or at least 7th grade. Learned for camping, hiking, cooking, & basic skills. • Venture Patrols – Optional older-boy patrol (ages 13~17). Plan & take challenging high-advanture outings and sports.

  5. Patrol Positions (1) • Patrool Leader (PL) – Elected. Plans & Leads patrol meeting and activities, encourage patrol members to complete advancement requirement.

  7. Patrol Identity • Patrol Name – usually using animal, plant, historical, or classic name that the patrol takes pride of. BSA offers 39 different patrol emblems. Patrol can also deigns from blank. • Patrol Flag – Remade per new Patrol Leader and cared by patrol leader. When to bring the flag? Never drop flag . • Patrol Yell – Prepare at least 3 yells.

  8. Patrol Meeting • Who calls the meeting – Patrol Leader • Location – can be held any location. Usually at PL’s home or in a park/school. • Format – shall be well planned, i.e. agenda, and business-like for 1~2hr. • Duties – Scribe collects dues and keeps minutes, APL reports on advancement or special assignment, PL reports PLC decisions and troop info. • Agenda – review past event, plan future event, assign tasks to each scout, review NHP status, clean equipment, test/sign requirement, make patrol flag, practice yell and skits, and patrol bonding.

  9. NHP(National Honor Patrol Award) Patrol earns award by doing the followings over a period of three months • Have a patrol name, flag, and yell.
