Talk:King's Cadet Corps

Each boy is assigned to a troop and patrol of cadets of similar age and address. Around 40 to 60 boys are placed in each troop, divided into four patrols.

There is one patrol approximately per 250 inhabitants. Each patrol is a group of boys of ages 10 to 14 (lower patrol) and 14 to 18 (upper patrol). Four patrols, two of each lower and upper patrols, make up a troop. Smaller villages combine with surrounding villages to form patrols of the appropriate size and composition. Each patrol is commanded by a corporal. He is holpen by a lance corporal. When a boy leaves middle schooling, he also „graduates” from the lower patrol into the upper patrol.
