The Troop Section consists of members, aged between 11 to 16. It is managed using a Patrol System where each Patrol
Leader is responsible for his / her patrol. The Troop has 4 patrols
which are Bulldog, Lion, Kestrel and Stag. The Senior Patrol Leader is
responsible for all the patrols and is the link between the Leaders and
PLs. The SPL also chairs the Patrol Leaders' Council.
