A youth-led troop is one in which the leadership is carried out by the Scouts themselves. Scouts do the planning for meetings and outings. Scouts run the meetings and are in charge of the outings. Adults are in the background providing advice, safety, training, and transportation.  Lord Baden Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement stated the following,  “The Patrol system is not one Method in which Scouting can be carried on. It is the ONLY Method.” “Train Scouts to do a job, and let them do it” “Never do anything a boy can do”
