Generally there is a good distribution of older scouts and younger scouts. I think the ages range from like 6th grade to 12th grade. The older, more responsible scouts in leadership positions typically act as the authority and leadership with rough guidance from the scoutmaster(s). The SPL (Senior Patrol Leader, an older scout) runs the meetings and activities and delegates authority appropriately. The group is further broken up into patrols of 5 or 6 scouts with their own designated leadership.
