Patrol Method
“The Patrol System is not one method in which Scouting for boys can be carried on. It is the only method.”
Lord Baden-Powell, Scouting’s founder
Patrol Method
“It is up to the Patrol Leader to take hold of and develop the qualities of each boy in his patrol. It sounds like a big order, but in practice, it works.”
Lord Baden-Powell
Patrol Method
“In planning and carrying out your Scouting program by patrols, your Scouts get valuable practice in group discussions & group decisions.”
“Green Bar Bill” Hillcourt
Patrol Method
“An invaluable step in character training is to put responsibility on the individual.”
Lord Baden-Powell
Patrol Method
In 1914, Baden Powell said
To get First Class results from this system:
• You have to give the leader a real free-handed responsibility.
• If you give only partial responsibility, you will get only partial results.
Remember this when you delegate responsibilities to members of your patrol or troop. Allow them to fail. Give them your support and guidance.
Patrol Method
Each patrol is made up of:1. Patrol Leader
2. Assistant Patrol Leader
3. Patrol Quartermaster
4. Patrol Scribe
5. Patrol Grubmaster
6. Patrol Cheermaster
It is important for EVERY scout in the troop to be part of a patrol and to have a designated position of leadership.

How to Talk to Adults
• Believe it or not, some adults are scared of kids.
• Communicating with Adults can be frustrating.
• Have you ever had good ideas that a leader just wouldn’t listen to?
• Do you have the same problems with your parents, teachers, or other adults?
1. Consider the character of that particular adult.
2. Think about how you can get that adult to respect you.
3. Remember, the adult is most likely uncomfortable too. Try NOT to use slang or unusual expressions they might not understand.
How to Talk to Adults
• Try to think like them & make sure what you are saying is clear.
• Try to find an adult that you know well and get along with, and talk with them about your problem. Have that adult talk to the one you're having a problem with.
• Make sure you you have plenty of facts and reason to back up what you are saying
How to Talk to Adults
• Always remember to BE POLITE and to to LISTEN to them also
