The Sliema Scout Group is made up of three main Sections and is run by the
Group Scout Leader with the assistance of the Assistant Group Scout Leaders.
Each Section has its own Section Leader and Assistant Section Leaders.
The Section Leader in the Pack is known as the Akela and the Akela's
Assistants have names that represent names from the characters in the Jungle Book.
The Pack is divided into groups of six members called Sixes. Each Six is names
after a different colour - Blue, Green, Yellow, White and Red. The Sixes are,
in turn, led by Cub Scouts called Sixers and assisted by their Second Sixers.
They wear special badges and help Akela.
In the Troop the Section Leader is called the Skipper and he is assisted
by his ASLs. The troop is divided into small teams called Patrols, and each
Patrol is named after a different animal : Stags, Panthers, Bulldogs, Hawks,
Eagles, Owls, Seagulls and Tigers. Each Patrol is lead by its Patrol Leader
and he is assisted by his Assistant Patrol Leader and Number 3. The Senior
Patrol Leaders acts as a link between the Patrol Leaders and the Leaders,
and is in charge of the running of the activities.
The Venture Unit is led by the Venture Scout leader and his Assistant
Venture Scout Leader. The number of members in the Unit is not as large
as the Pack or the Troop, and the members in the Unit are older. Therefore
the Unit is run in a slightly different way compared to the other
Sections - using a Venture Executive. This is made up of four Venture Scouts
who are elected every six months from the Unit members. They take care of
the running of the Unit.
All the Leaders in the Group give their time, energy and dedicated to this
organisation on a purely voluntary basis. Their only reward is the satisfaction
that they have made a difference in the life of a youngster.
