Learning by doing

How does the Movement shape its programmes?

Programmes combine the scouting method, non-formal education and learning by doing. They span science, nature, leadership, inclusion and community service in a safe, organised setting led by experienced advisers, educators and trainers.

  • Learning grounded in experience and practice
  • Intellectual, physical, social, spiritual and emotional growth
  • Teamwork that develops independence and responsibility
  • Progression from participation to guidance and leadership
