Troop Format• "The patrol (Den, Crew, Team) is the unit of scouting." • The Patrol Method is not a way to run a troop, It is the only way.• "It is the patrol system that makes the troop." • "To the patrol leader, the patrol system gives practice in

responsibility and the qualities of leadership." • "Where the patrol system is applied it is absolutely bound to

bring success."• "The patrol system leads each boy to see that he has some

individual responsibility for the good of his patrol." • "The main object is not so much saving the scoutmaster trouble

as to give responsibility to the boy." • "There is no teaching to compare with example."
