Sample Patrol Meeting:

1. Formally open the meeting and bring the group to order.
• Remind them that it's important to have just one conversation going on at a time.
2. The Patrol Leader should give a quick briefing on any news from the Troop level.
• This would be reminders about events coming up.
3. The Patrol Leader should entertain suggestions for TROOP Level activites
• The PL should record all suggestions (and who made them).
4. The PL should entertain ideas for Patrol Level activites.
• The PL should record these and who made them.
5. The PL should briefly go over what's happening at each troop meeting for the coming month. This should include what the Patrol's responsibility is:
• Service
• Program
6. Maybe have a fun activity or some food to end the meeting.
