The Patrols

Just as scouting today has a patrol system within a regional group, so we had patrols within the Discworld Guilds, City Watch, and other species. Providing a patrol was made up of the same number of people, then the popular groupings might well have had 3 or more patrols from the same company.

For example: The Assassin's Guild Company Of Scouts might have been made up of:

  • Dagger Patrol
  • Garrotte Patrol
  • Stealth Patrol

Or they could be named after the houses in the Guild School [1].

Patrol Names

Patrols had their own names and icons and there was a competition for these prior to the Jamboree. Each patrol then had its own pennant, shoulder tabs and badge.

Patrol Flags

We left it up to the patrols to design and make their own flags. We provided cloth and suitable paints for those that wished to do so, confident in the knowledge that there would be enough clever buggers to make stuff prior the Jamboree. We weren't disappointed.
