As a new leader to a troop that has not succeeded with the boy led patrol method in the past, my post is slightly different from the rest.
Here is what myself, along with a few of the other new leaders to our troop are putting in place to move the troop toward a boy led, patrol focused unit.
For the first time, we are going to have a new scout patrol, focused on building basic scout skills and advancing the boys through the First Class rank. Our goal is to get these boys meeting and working as a patrol, with the understanding that they are going to be our next wave of youth leaders.
