The Patrol Leader Handbook should be read by Scout patrol leaders, of course, but it should also be read by adult Scout leaders. The Handbook lays the responsibilities of the Patrol Leader out in sufficient detail and accessible language to allow any Scout-aged young man to assume and succeed in this role. Scout leaders will find it useful in understanding what their Patrol Leaders should be, know and do.
Patrol Leaders, here is a book that makes your job more fun, interesting, and a lot easier. The Patrol Leader Handbook gives new and experienced patrol leaders the tools they need to lead patrol meetings, plan activities, delegate patrol jobs, and lots more.
As a unit commissioner with the Longhorn Council, knowing how to coach leaders on the patrol method and making it a more effective part of their overall troop makes this book required reading.
