For Youth Leaders

In part 1, I said that your Patrol shouldn’t be just a ‘paper-patrol’. Your Patrol will only become a great Patrol if you care enough to make it so. You’ve got to really care about your Patrol! I mean really care! The Scouts who are in your patrol now are the foundation. You’ve got everything you need to start building your Patrol into something great! Alright, the first step in making your Patrol awesome is getting together....

Get a life! I mean for your Patrol! Many Patrols are lifeless. These are called “paper patrols”. They have a name on paper, but it doesn’t mean much in real life. Your Patrol can be different. An active Patrol is a real team: a real group of friends! It can have a real life that grows and becomes something more and more fulfilling… and fun! I know it will work, because I did it!...
