| This is an ongoing activity for a troop to use to build patrol spirit and help each scout participate and support his patrol. Patrols accumulate beads and attach them to their patrol flag staff. In January of each year, which tends to be a slower time of year anyway, have a party to review patrol accomplishments, determine which patrol has the most awards, and start a new year of awarding. Have a segregated box of colored beads with each bead having a different meaning. Give each patrol an 18 inch leather tong to tie onto their patrol Flag. At every troop meeting, each patrol leader reports on the activities and accomplishments of his patrol since the last troop meeting. When a patrol leader reports, he picks beads from the box or the ASPL hands them over and the patrol can attach them to their leather tong. Beads: (for individual and patrol activities)
Feathers: (plan and lead troop-wide activities)
Bells: (exceptional work)
By the time the patrol ages out, their flagpole should be covered with beads, feathers, and bells. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
