Mount the flag on a pole, which also can be decorated. Remember, the patrol flag should go wherever the patrol goes. Every patrol has a patrol yell, which should be short and snappy. Choose words that fit the patrol's goals. Use the yell to announce to other patrols that your patrol is ready to eat or has won a patrol competition.
Some patrols also have a patrol song.
Other patrol traditions include printing the patrol logo on the chuck box and other patrol property. Some patrols like to specialize in doing something extremely well, such as cooking peach cobbler or hobo stew. As a patrol leader, you are a member of the patrol leaders' council, and you serve as the voice of your patrol members. You should present the ideas and concerns of your patrol and in turn share the decisions of the patrol leaders' council with your patrol members. The patrol leaders' council plans the yearly troop program at the annual troop program planning conference.
