What is the difference between a Troop and a Patrol?

Aย Troop is an organization of youth enjoying the challenges and adventures of Scouting. (If you were a Cub Scout, the Troop is roughly equivalent to the Cub Scout Pack.)

Scout Troops are made up ofย Patrolsย with each of patrol’s members sharing responsibility for the patrol’s success.ย  (If you were a Cub Scout, a Patrol is like your Den.) Everyone in the patrol will have skills and knowledge to share.ย  By working together in small groups, Scouts lean together, make plans and turn their ideas into actions.

The Troop and each patrol have various leadership positions that Scouts may fill.
