Scout method
From Scouts Canada Wiki
The Scout Method is the educational foundation of the Scout Program. It consists of seven parts:
- The Scout Law and Promise
- Learning by doing
- The Team System (or Patrol System)
- A symbolic framework
- Nature
- Personal Progression
- Adult Support
Scouts Canada no longer emphasises the Scout Method and instead follows its Practices and Methods which are:
- Commitment to the values in a Promise and Law
- Learning by doing
- Membership in small groups
- Progressive and stimulating contemporary programs
- Commitment to the values of doing one’s best, contributing to the community, respecting and caring for others, contributing as a family member
- Relevant through youth and young adult engagement
- Use of outdoor activities as a key learning resource.
For a definitive explanation of the Scout Method, see The Scout Method (produced by the World Organization of the Scout Movement).
