Here are some primary differences:
- Boy scouts is boy-run wherever possible. “Never do for a boy what a boy can safely do for himself” is a good rule of thumb.
- The Patrol Method is the primary vehicle for achieving the previous objective.
- Every patrol has a Patrol Leader, who is responsible for leading his patrol. There is also a Senior Patrol Leader that leads the whole troop. Boys are elected to these positions by their peers.
- The ranks in Boy Scouts are Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life and Eagle. We strongly encourage boys to achieve the First Class rank in their first year as a Boy Scout.
- Merit Bages.
- High Adventure trips for the older boys (generally at least 14 years of age), which are planned by the boys.
