A key component of the Scout method is that Scout troops are run by the Scouts under the advice and guidance of adult leaders. Scout Troops operate on the patrol method. Each Scout patrol is led by a Scout called the Patrol Leader. The Patrol Leaders within a Scout Troop form a "Court of Honour" or 'Troop Council' under 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 Honour. The Court of Honour is responsible for the management, program and activities of the troop. The leadership role of the adult and Scout members of the Court of Honour vary, and in some troops it is the norm for the adult leader to play a mentorship role, teaching the youth responsibility in their own leadership roles.
