Patrol Leaders’ Councils involve Patrol Leaders and the adult leadership team. Sometimes Assistant Patrol Leaders come along too, and if the Troop has Explorer Scout Young Leaders, they should be invited. The point of a Patrol Leaders’ Council is to ensure that the adult leadership team hears from young people. Adults and young people should work together to plan and deliver a programme everyone enjoys.
Patrol Leaders’ Councils also remind everyone of the importance of Patrol Leaders and how they take a leadership role. There’s no one right way to run a Patrol Leaders’ Council, but these are our top tips to get you started.
