You can have a competition within each patrol to determine the patrol champion and then have them represent their patrol in a troop championship.

You can have duel winners advance to determine the troop champion in a single-elimination tournament.

You can have each patrol duel every other patrol once and keep track of overall win-lose record to determine the champion patrol. A different scout in the patrol gets to do each duel so everyone gets a try.
