Line 248:
This section for boys, and sometimes girls, aged 10-15, is organized into '''Troops''', reflecting Baden-Powell's military background. Each Troop will be lead by a '''Scoutmaster''' or '''Scout Leader''', supported by assistant adult leaders who are usually simply referred to by their own names.
 
The subdivision of a Scout Troop is the '''Patrol'''. Each Patrol will be formed of 5-108 Scouts, lead by the '''Patrol Leader''' (PL), who is deputised by the '''Assistant Patrol Leader''' (APL). As with Cubs, on occasion it is possible that one member of a Troop will be promoted to '''Senior Patrol Leader''' (SPL), who will act to advise and lead across the entire Troop. In America there may also be an '''Assistant Senior Patrol Leader''' position.
