Scouting is a Game with a Purpose
FUN is the GAME
VALUES are the PURPOSE
LEARNING is the PROCESS.
Three Activities that Teach Values:
Reflection. By talking about or reflecting on their experiences, Scouts learn to think for themselves and practice group skills. They make judgments, work together, and develop understanding and trust. With guidance, they can seek and find the meaning or purpose behind activities, make sense of their experiences, and reinforce positive values.
Problem Solving. Through stories involving ethical dilemmas, Scouts learn successful ways to resolve real problems. With experience, Scouts learn how to apply this method to real problems in Scouting and in their own lives.
Community Service. By planning and carrying out meaningful service projects, Scouts are able to connect with the real needs of their community.
Scouting is a Special Place. The rules are the ones we know well: the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.
