Baden-Powell Patrol

If you really want evidence that the patrol you lead is a great patrol, then you'll want to "go the extra mile" and earn the Baden-Powell Patrol Award. The award is special partly because it's named after Scouting's founder, Lord Robert Baden-Powell. But the really special part is that any patrol that earns the award will be getting the most it can out of Scouting.

The award is an embroidered star worn beneath your patrol medallion, and it spotlights your patrol as one of the best. It's a challenge the guys can really get behind.

The award is given to patrols that complete the following requirements:

  1. Spirit. Have a patrol flag and rally around it. Put your patrol design on all your equipment. Use your patrol yell or cheer and patrol call. Keep patrol records up to date for 3 months.
  2. Patrol meetings. Hold two patrol meetings each month for three months.
  3. Hikes, outdoor activities, and other events. Take part in one of these within 3 months.
  4. Good Turns or service projects. Do two patrol leaders' council approved Good Turns or service projects within three months.
  5. Advancement. Help two patrol members advance one rank during 3 months.
  6. Uniform. Wear the uniform correctly (at least six scouts).
  7. Patrol leaders' council. Represent the patrol during three patrol leaders' council meetings within 3 months.
