A section of the St. Joseph's Pelandok Scout Group, it comprises scouts studying in St. Joseph's Institution ranging from 13 - 16 years of age. They go through a wide range of activities, including camps, combined activities with girl guides, outdoor survival skill trainings and many more. We hold camps at various locations annually in June, during which the scouts get to sleep in tents, away from the comforts of their own homes. Occasionally, we also have Patrol Outings, in which the scouts within their patrol can interact and know one another better. Other times, the senior members teach the junior members knotting, cooking or even communication skills.

Our meetings begin from 2.30 pm to 4.30 pm on Fridays, and 8.15 am to 12.30 pm on Saturdays. We usually have Patrol Meetings on Fridays, during which the Patrol Leader can settle administrative work. Trainings, e.g. footdrill, knots, first aid... are mostly done on Saturdays. Each member in the patrol have posts, such as the Quartermaster, Treasurer, Scribe, etc. In this way, they can learn different skills which contribute to their character-building. They can also rotate the posts among them every year to give them a chance to try out other responsibilities.
