The Patrol Method and A "Cub-Friendly" Outing

It’s always remarkable to witness a piece of advice that was offered about a century ago and find that it still works today. Scouting's founder, Robert Baden-Powell, once put the point of this Journal post in the clearest of terms: “The Patrol Method is not a way to operate a Boy Scout Troop, it is the only way. Unless the Patrol Method is in operation, you donʼt really have a Boy Scout Troop.” Agreed.
