Send Us Photos of Your Patrol or Den Flag
When you join a Scouts BSA troop or Cub Scout pack, you are assigned to a patrol or den. This “patrol method” helps you make friends, develop leadership and teamwork skills, and share in the success of your group.
To build camaraderie, especially in a Scouts BSA troop, you will come up with a patrol name, yell and flag. How do you come up with something good?
You can get creative with a fun name like the “Radioactive Guinea Pigs” or the “Wizard Lizards.” Or come up with something that describes you and your fellow Scouts. If you all love nature, name your patrol after an animal or plant. Love to cook? Name yourselves after your favorite food. The choice is yours. If you need help, look through patrol patches at the Scout Shop.
Make a patrol flag to carry at troop meetings and on campouts. It can be a simple piece of canvas that you draw on, or you can sew a unique design that matches the patrol emblem you wear on your uniform.
Patrols have yells, too. If your patrol is named for an animal, you can use that animal’s sound. Or come up with a yell that’s just as creative as the wacky name you chose.
Have fun and be proud of your patrol.
