Scout Promise & Law: Making a personal commitment
Learning by doing: Active participation with others. Opportunities for new experiences.
Team system (Patrol): The small group system is the basic organizational structure in Scouting. Young people experience adventure and challenge in small teams composed of a team leader and roles for each team member.
Symbolic Framework: Provides a setting for Scouting; through the use of symbols, themes, stories, notions the young person’s imagination is stimulated and activities are given a purpose.
Personal Progression: This involves the development of knowledge, skills, attitudes in all areas and the development of the whole person as an individual and as a member of society.
Nature: Outdoor activities, adventures and the exploration of nature refer to the immense possibilities that the natural world offers for the development of the young person.
Adult support: Scouting is a partnership between the young person and the adult; the adult provides support for the young person in groups which become increasingly self-governing.
