Patrol Outings - Why are they Important?

These outings are important to the well-being of a Patrol.

  • The first reason that we do Patrol Outings is to help build Patrol Spirit. We want to use these meetings to help the Patrol to form bonds between the youth. Forming these bonds can be a challenge at our normal Monday night meetings since we are busy with Merit Badge classes, training, & other activities.
  • The second reason that we do Patrol Outings is that we want to use them as a time to focus on the Patrol. While there should be a fun activity as a part of the Patrol Outing, there should also be a Patrol Meeting & sometimes there should be advancement as well.
