 Cub
Scouts Beavers and Scouts all let go their energy in games,
sports and in learning by doing. They find out about the world
around them and its people and show their concern for others in
fund raising for charities and helping people in need they are
Exuberant. inquisitive and anxious to please. The Steady
continuous growth of the Scout Movement and the waiting lists of
young people who still today are eager to join the scouting
movement still in the millennium when there are so many other
outside influences which one would imagine would cause the very
idea of Scouting to be boring when you put Scouting beside the
Games Consoles and the Television and Sky with all its array of
programs it just seems that Scouting has not and will never go
out of fashion! The reason we believe this is a fact is largely
due to the fact that the scouting movement adapts to change by
planning to meet future needs of the children and young adults
of today. The Scouting Movement open up the training programme
to ensure that they satisfy as many interests as possible.
Scouting holds its place in the millennium as one of the most
progressive youth movements. This is largely due to the fact
that the Scout Leaders who have usually progressed to a leader
from being a cub scout or maybe even a beaver previously and
have themselves seen the benefits belonging to the Scouting
Movement hence they have afforded the new innovative ideas for
today's generation ensuring a steady progression and line of new
young members who wish to join the Scout Organisation.
For those who do their best as Members of the Pack or their
troop and unit, Scouting can given them some of the best years
of their lives. It offers companionship and lots of new
interests the change to develop new amazing skills and
oftentimes be able to try activities that would not be
attainable if they
 were
not members of the Scout Organisation.
As you see here in the image there is a youth learning to
abseil at the end of this particular training this scout if they
cover the course will get a badge to show he has achieved his
goal. This can only give any youth a sense of pride learning the
new skill and may even lend itself to the youth taking this
particular outside sport further one day? And more importantly
it gives a youth a sense of purpose and a way to say Goodbye to
Boredom.
Looking to the future Scouting will continue to play a full
and sometimes leading part in its own right and in conjunction
with the Youth Service which is an integral part in helping
young people with all abilities and disabilities cope with the
technological and economic changes that will continue to take
place and problems such as unemployment and the need for the
readjustment that they create.
As a Scout or Cub Scout there are friends which you can make
that turn into life time friends who are loyal and honest and
trustworthy. Even the most shy of children regardless of any
disability are able to join in and make new friends and help
them become confident and feel a sense of pride about themselves
and their Scout Group and the Scout Flag. |
There
are Adults also that find good fellowship in Scouting and
whether they decide to serve as Leaders or in an
advisory , administrative or other supporting role they have the
satisfaction of doing something positive to help today's
youngsters to become the responsible citizens of tomorrow and at
the same time they can have a lot of fun doing it as you see in
the image here. Equally there are awards and achievement badges
to be given even as an adult which will give any adult a sense
of achievement. Whether you have a child that attends the Scouts
or not if you are interested in learning more about
