The Patrol Leaders within a Scout Troop form a Court of Honor or 'Troop Council' under the guidance of the adult leader of the Scout Troop. Some Scout Organizations allow a Scout to be appointed as a Senior Patrol Leader or Troop Leader who heads the Scout troop and Court of Honor.
In a Scout Troop, Patrol Leaders come together to form an advisory board, known as the 'Troop Council', under the supervision of the adult leader. Certain Scout Organizations permit a young Scout to be designated as a Senior Patrol Leader or Troop Leader, who oversees the entire troop and its council.
