IST members had to attend at least two activities from two different themes to attain the IST Experience silver badge and three activities from three different themes to attain the gold badge. A patrol of IST consisted of unit of from four to eight scouts from different countries. Each patrol was assigned to a specific task.

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or team:
“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“Relying on any one disciplinary approach—time-out, negotiation, tough love, the star system—puts the parenting team at risk. Why? Because children adapt to any method very quickly; today’s effective technique becomes tomorrow’s worn dance.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
