How is the Boy Scouts organized?

0

In Boy Scouting, most troops aim to train their boys for leadership. Each troop has a senior patrol leader, elected by all the boys in the troop, who with his assistant senior patrol leader(s) takes the helm for leadership within the troop. The troop is made up of patrols, units of five to ten Scouts who function together, about the same size as a Cub Scout den. Each patrol elects a patrol leader, who chooses his assistant patrol leader. In a young troop, the boys will obviously need more adult guidance and coaching in running meetings, etc., but in an established troop with older Scouts, you should see much evidence of “boys leading boys”.
