How about saying that you'd like more Scouts in your patrol? There's always something positive to say. Maybe you could say that you want your patrol to be the best in the troop...
What can you do to make your patrol better?
What YOU personally do. Have several ideas to impress the adult leaders. "I can talk to my Church about helping us earn our religious awards." "I can talk to my Karate Instructor about teaching Sports and Athletics merit badges."
What type of outings do you prefer? Why?
Snow camping? Hiking? I always preferred camping without hiking so you could bring more fun things with you for games and competitions. I enjoyed cook-offs with other patrols and especially loved Winter Camping and making snow shelters. You answer here helps the adult leaders determine what kind of Scout you will grow into over the next several years.
What is the longest hike you have taken? Where? How was it?
Pretty simple here, but also add something about any hiking GOALS you have, such as: "The longest hike I've ever gone for was a 10 miles, but I'd really love to go to Philmont for a 50 miler!"
What would your patrol think about earning the Baden-Powell Patrol Star?
Instead of just saying that it would be awesome, tell the adult leaders HOW your patrol can do it and what YOU can do to help.
Hope these insights help!
