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 assisted by a lance corporal. When a boy leaves middle schooling, he also „graduates” from the lower patrol into the upper patrol.

Ranking

A cadet has authority over all cadets under his rank, whether or not younger or formally committed to his charge. That is to say, a 15-year-old lower troop serjeant has authority over an 18-year-old upper troop corporal, though the latter is more exprienced than the former. This does lead to conflict, especially when experienced elder able cadets are commanded to do something by much younger NCOs. Regulations are in place to control the giving of orders by NCOs to those not directly under their charge to reduce this conflict.
