Being at the front line of program delivery, Troop Leaders determine the outcome of the Boy Scouting program. Trained Troop Leaders are expected to have that positive attitude, skills, and dedication to the task of developing boys to be responsible citizens. The management of the troop and the application of the patrol system should therefore highlight the Troop Leader's job. Through the years, we have heard testimonies of former Scouts who have attributed their success in life with the training they received from their Troop Leaders. With this big responsibility, it is very essential that Troop Leaders are regularly updated of program development; hence this revised Troop Leader's Manual. This Manual is an essential companion of the Troop Leader. It provides important recommendations as to how a troop of boys should be organized and trained in the Scout Method for self-reliance and community service while adhering to the Scout Motto, “Laging Handa.”
