Among the many challenges you will encounter are:

Organizing your patrol.

Using duty rosters.

Planning menus and figuring out costs.

Encouraging advancement.

Guiding a patrol in problem solving and decision-making.

Teaching outdoor skills.

Ensuring safety during outings.

Helping other scouts make the most of their own leadership opportunities.
