Boy Scouts Handbook Part 6

First-cla.s.s Scout

Patrol Signs

Each troop of boy scouts is named after the place to which it belongs.

For example, it is Troop No. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., of New York or Chicago.

Each patrol of the troop is named after an animal or bird, but may be given another kind of name if there is a valid reason. In this way, the Twenty-seventh New York Troop, for instance, may have several patrols, which may be respectively the Ox, Wolf, Jackal, Raven, Buffalo, Fox, Panther, and Rattlesnake.
