The Patrol Method

Where scouts take the lead

In Troop 99, youth leadership isn't a title—it is an active responsibility. Scouts elect their own leaders, run weekly meetings, and organize monthly high-adventure excursions across the Willamette Valley.

Adults advise, but scouts execute. From camp setup to trail navigation, every decision builds the self-reliance and confidence needed for the first-class rank and beyond.

Our Mentorship Network

Three layers of guidance

From peer-to-peer coaching to veteran Eagle Scout guidance, our structured multi-generational network ensures every Albany scout is trail-ready.

Patrol Leaders

Eagle Mentors

Adult Advisors

Experienced youth scouts elected by their peers to guide daily activities, teach outdoor skills, and lead trail teams.

Older scouts who have achieved scouting's highest rank, staying active to coach younger scouts along their advancement path.

Trained leaders and parents who maintain safety standards, manage logistics, and provide quiet, structured mentorship.
