Persekutuan Pengakap Malaysia (Malaysian Scouting Association, PPM) is an organisation for

boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 17, based in Malaysia. It is part of the
global Scouting movement and a member of the World Organization of the Scout
Movement (WOSM). It was established and officially regulated by an act of parliament through
the Scouts Association of Malaysia (Incorporation) Act 1968.The Scout emblem incorporates
elements of the coat of arms of Malaysia.
A troop is divided into several patrols, each with its own patrol leader and assistant patrol leader.
A committee called the Patrol Leaders Council plans all the troop's activities, with guidance from
the troop's Scoutmaster(s). The Patrol Leaders Council consists of all the patrol leaders and their
assistants if the council is too small. From the Patrol Leader's Council, Patrol Leaders are
elected to become the Troop Leader, Assistant Troop Leader, Secretary, Treasurer and
Quartermaster. This committee is called the Court of Honour and is the most exclusive
committee in a troop. The posts mentioned are the least a troop can have. Besides the above
mentioned posts, other posts such as Discipline Officer, Den warden, Librarian, IT Director,
Historian and much more can be added if the need should arise.
A patrol itself, besides its patrol leader and assistant patrol leader, has a secretary for taking
down the details of a patrol meeting, has a treasurer for recording the financial matters and has a
quartermaster for taking care of the patrol's equipment. During camp, the quartermaster
becomes the equipment quartermaster, and a food quartermaster is appointed. The secretary
becomes assistant patrol leader if the patrol leader or assistant patrol leader does not show up
for a meeting.
