Patrol names in 2019 aren’t ‘standard’

After reading this list of names, it’s clear patrols are all about creativity and identity for Scouts. After all, who besides a Scout could come up with something like, “Plasma Dragons”?

Fun is welcome, and Scouts make the final call when it comes to selecting their patrol’s name. (As long as it’s Scout-appropriate, it’s good to go.)

Plus, the patrol emblems you’ll find at the Scout Shop offer all kinds of visual inspiration for one-of-a-kind patrol names. Just remember: your Scouts don’t have to stick to the patch’s item name.

For instance, if your patrol picks the “Phoenix patrol emblem,” they can still choose a name like the “Funky Fire Phoenix Patrol.”
