Recognizing the importance of the group in society, Scouts are organized into groups - Patrols. Each Patrol select its own leader - the Patrol leader, who appoints his Assistant Patrol Leader and divides the remaining responsibilities of leadership by appointing Patrol warrant officers (Quartermaster, Scribe, Historian, Campfire Leader, etc.). 

Scouts who are leaders are sometimes called "junior leaders." 

Adult leaders in Scouting are designated as "Scouters." A Scouter has been compared to the coach of a youth athletic team. This analogy is accurate only so long as it is a team where the "coach" does not determine the game plan or call the plays.
