The aim of Scouting Ireland is to encourage the physical, intellectual, character, emotional, social, and spiritual development of young people so that they may achieve their full potential and, as responsible citizens, to improve society. We achieve our aim through a system of progressive self‐education, known as the Scout Method- The Scout Method is an educational framework which is unique to Scouting. It is composed of eight different elements which work together as a system to provide young people with a rich and active learning environment. The Scout Method is the way we do Scouting. Promise & Law The Scout Law is personal code of living which young people voluntarily commit to when they make their Scout Promise. Nature and Outdoors 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. Learning by doing Having hands-on and interactive activities allowing young people to take ownership of their activities. Small Group System The small group system is the basic organisational structure in Scouting. Young people experience adventure and challenge in a small teams, usually 6-8 people. Personal Progression An award scheme, which encourages participation in its full range of activities and provides recognition and group achievements. 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. Young People & Adults 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. Service and Commitment The fostering of individual good turns and helping each other out, and commitment to scouting’s principles, commitment to fellow scouts and to a Scout Group.
