Patrol Structure

Troop 1028 currently operates four permanent Scout patrols (Aces, Falcons, Raptors, and Spartans) and Troop 1029 currently operates three permanent Scout patrols (Bald Eagle, Platypus, and White Tigers).  Both Troops also operate up to three transitional Scout patrols (Fawkes Phoenix, Ice Phoenix, and Fire Phoenix).  New Scouts joining either Troop in early Spring begin in a Phoenix patrol, which exists from late February to July of each year.  In July, new Scouts then move to a permanent Patrol of their choice.

A dedicated Assistant Scoutmaster (ASM) mentors each patrol, and the older Scouts mentor the younger Scouts in each patrol.

Patrol Leaders (PLs) run their patrols according to the patrol method. Each PL often delegates tasks to their self-appointed staff, including an Assistant Patrol Leader (APL). Below the patrol level or on ad hoc travel, our Scouts always use the Buddy System.

All PLs report to the Senior Patrol Leader (SPL), who runs the troop. The SPL appoints several Assistant Senior Patrol Leaders (ASPL) as well as other key Troop leadership positions including Quartermaster, Scribe, Instructors, etc. soon after each election.

​Elections for new youth leaders are held each May and November.

New Scout Integration

Our Troops are organized with a unique Phoenix Patrol for integration of new Scouts. From February to July, new Scouts will be assigned to the temporary Phoenix Patrol before they join their final Patrol.
  • A Troop Scout serves as Patrol Leader with as-needed assistance from a Patrol Mentor.
  • At each meeting and event, current Scouts are rotated through the Phoenix Patrol to teach skills and to get to know the new Scouts in a smaller group setting.
  • The goal is to have new Scouts both bond as a group and also to focus on quick completion of the Scout and Tenderfoot requirements.
  • In July, the Phoenix Patrol will disappear only to be reborn from the ashes next February !
