A Band of Boy Scouts is a group of young boys, typically between the ages of 11 and 17, who are members of the Boy Scouts of America organization. The term 'TROOP' is used to refer to a group of Boy Scouts, and is typically composed of several patrols of 8-10 Scouts each. The TROOP is led by adult volunteers, such as Scoutmasters, and is responsible for providing a safe and fun environment for the Scouts to learn and grow.
