A squad is an optional youth member sub-group of a Varsity Scout team. A squad is lead by an elected Squad Leader. One or more squads may make up a larger team.
Structure
Larger Varsity Scout teams may be divided into squads, groups much like a Boy Scout Patrol. Squads function most efficiently when they have five to seven members.
With the guidance of adults, squad members work together to plan a balanced program of team activities. While squads may sometimes develop activities of there own, there primary efforts are to combine activities with other squads and the team as a whole.
