You're so close. I don't want to ruin the magic by finding the answer, but curiosity got the better of me and I found the script. The line is "Canis patrol..." (whatever Canis is).
Edit: now when I listen I hear "Gayness patrol" 🤷♂️
gayness Patrol is probably the more senior scouts, always looking out for penis patrol

Canis, like “Canine” or Canis Lupas,or possible from Canis Major which is a constellation

Gray/white/hoary/ancient/etc.
ETA: intended to respond to the other comment here to the bsg wiki with an entry for Canus.
That said, I think canis makes more sense for a patrol name.
