Baden-Powell Patrol Award

Baden-PowellWhy a Baden-Powell Patrol?

Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, wanted to have FUN by being members of an organized patrol of eight Scouts. The Baden-Powell Patrol plan will put plenty of spirit, activity, and fun into your patrol activities.

If you and the other members of your patrol work together to reorganize your patrol and complete the Baden-Powell Patrol requirements, you can wear the Baden-Powell Patrol star under your patrol emblem. Your patrol will do a better job, and you'll get into more activities and FUN as you earn the star.
