A Scout '''patrol''' is the basic [[unit]] or grouping of Scouts. Scout [[Troop|troops]] are composed of one or more patrols. Generally around eight members, a patrol is likely composed of Scouts who are close in age and rank to one another. They may even have been recently formed from a [[Webelos]] Den after [[Bridging|bridging]].

A patrol is expected to have its own meetings and activities in addition to ones at the troop level. At troop meetings and at troop events, the patrol participates together, often in good-natured competition with other patrols. They are expected to have a name, as well as Patrol Yell and a Patrol Flag, all of which a [[Scout|Scout Badge]] is required to know to advance to the [[Tenderfoot]] Rank.

Patrols can earn the [[National Honor Patrol Award]] (formerly the "Baden-Powell Patrol Award) by completeing specific requirements over a three month period, including having their own meetings, outings, and service projects.
