KL Wisconsin 10 Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 Could you please define "Patrol Star". Our troop has never heard of it. Link to post Share on other sites
jmcquillan 10 Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 The Patrol Star is the emblem awarded to the Patrol when they achieve the Baden Powell Patrol Award. It is awarded to the Patrol, not the individual Scout. Link to post Share on other sites
eisely 13 Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 Question: Once a patrol attains this status, do they get to keep the star forever? Does the patrol have to "requalify" every year to retain the star? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Long 10 Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 A patrol does get to keep the star patch forever and does not need to re-qualify. The star is only worn with the patrol patch of the patrol that earned it. If a scout changes patrols and the new patrol hasn't earned it, the star comes off. The requirements have to be done in a certain time frame I belive that it's a three month period. I believe that a patrol can earn more than one star. (I'm not positive on that one) My experiences with the BP Patrol Star were when I was a Scout, the regs. may have changed. Link to post Share on other sites
