The Scout section is the direct descendant of the original ''Scout Patrols'' which formed The Scout Association of the United Kingdom in 1908. The section is open to both boys and girls between the ages of 10½-14 years, and are now formed into local Scout Troops. Scout Troops form part of a Scout Group. The Scout section follows on from the Cub Pack (8-10½ year olds) and Scouts will move onto the Explorer Scout section at the age of 14. A general Scouting programme is adopted by Scout Troops, but it is possible for specialist troops to be formed. Sea Scouts and Air Scouts are example of specialist programme troops. == Organisation == The Scout Troop forms the senior section of Scout Groups. Since the programme review in 2003, this section is open to 10½-14 year olds. The Troop is the longest running section within the UK organisation, although it was originally termed the ''Scout Patrol'' when the movement started in 1907. Most Groups will have one Troop, while some others may be able to support two or even more, depending on the numbers of Scouts within the Group. This is quite rare, as new Groups would be created in areas of large Scouting populations. Scout Troops have an adult leadership team consisting of an appointed Scout Leader and one or two assistant leaders. They can also be supported by adult helpers or Young Leaders. The Scouts within the Troop are separated into Patrols, ideally of 6-8 members, with a Patrol Leader and an Assistant Patrol Leader. These positions are usually filled by Scouts who have shown an ability to be responsible and pro-active. they are normally around the age of 14 years of age but many scout troops do vary which is very interesting in some aspects of modern scouting life. Some Troops may also hold a position for a Senior Patrol Leader. Within the Troop, the Patrol Leaders can hold a council and are able to plan and run activities under the supervision of the Scout Leader. The Scout District may also hold a council for representative Patrol Leaders from each Troop to attend. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scouts (The Scout Association)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
