What activities do we do?
Make your own adventure
Your child gets to choose their own scouting adventure whether that’s through rock climbing in the outdoors, enjoying a camp fire next after the tent’s been set up or helping the elderly in the community.
Challenge Areas
Scouts use a variety of means to create their own program using the Challenge Areas.
Scouts might brainstorm, work in Patrols, use imagination aids, or focus on any of the key word categories to think of activities they would like to do, personally or as Patrol or Unit. Scouts are encouraged to make sure every activity is adventurous, fun, challenging, and inclusive, including the brainstorming activity for programming ideas.
Youth Leading
Adult Supporting
In its most basic form, “Youth Leading, Adults Supporting” is about young people taking charge of their Scouting journey while being assisted and mentored by adults.
Young people are in the driver’s seat, making developmentally appropriate decisions about what they want in their Scouting, and learning life skills as they interact with other youth members and adults.
Community Involvement
The World Organization of the Scout Movement says that one of the most important parts of being a Scout is helping to create a better world. Today there are 47 million Scouts across the globe actively working to achieve this.
A commitment to creating a better world is more than ‘service’. Community Involvement is about being active and visible in the local community.
