  • THE EXPLORING EXPERIENCE a National Program-Outcomes Study Conducted by Louis Harris & Associates Introduction
    THE EXPLORING EXPERIENCE A National Program-Outcomes Study Conducted by Louis Harris & Associates Introduction Exploring is a part of the Learning for Life career educa- tion program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years old.* Exploring exists to accomplish a major goal: To provide the structure and resources needed for the youth of America to learn about career opportunities, to make ethical choices, and to achieve their full potential as individuals. In May 1998, the results of a Learning for Life program evaluation were released in a booklet titled Character Building With Learning for Life. This research study, con- ducted by Syndics Research Corporation and Dr.Kevin Ryan of Boston University, found that elementary school–age youth who participated in Learning for Life scored higher than students who did not participate in Learning for Life on questions related to a variety of ethi- cal and moral issues covered in lessons. Additionally, after six months, teacher evaluations of student behavior indi- cated that students participating in Learning for Life exhibited better behavior than those who were not in the program. *This segment of the research focuses on the Exploring program of Learning for Life. It became an official program of Learning for Life on August 1, 1998. Before this date, Exploring and Venturing were com- bined in a single program. Venturing is now a separate part of Boy Scouts of America. 2 The Exploring Experience Although that study illustrated the effectiveness of the cha r a c t e r -building aspect of Learning for Life among ele- mentary-age youth (ages 6 to 12 years old), it did not address issues among young adults (ages 14 to 20) in the Exploring program.

  • The Commissioner Service Newsletter
    The Commissioner Service Newsletter GGAC, Council # 023 – August 2021 – Issue #6 The COUNCIL COMMISSIONER CORNER Aug 18, 2021 Greetings GGAC Commissioners: As you may have heard, the BSA and local councils have reached an agreement with the lawyers representing 75% of all abuse claimants. This agreement paths the way for the resolution of the BSA bankruptcy. As part of the settlement, the GGAC is required to make a substantial financial contribution. The recent sale of the San Leandro office and the pending sale of the Pleasant Hill office puts GGAC in a position to make our financial contribution without having to sell any of the scout camps. The council will be leasing office space in Pleasanton, and will be setting up trading posts strategically located throughout the Council. Look for more details in the near future. Excitement is also in the air as summer winds down and schools resume in-person learning. But in the excitement please remain vigilant in the face of a renewed threat from the COVID Delta variant. Many units are resuming in-person meetings after a long summer hiatus. I encourage all Commissioners to reach out to your units and encourage them to review their safe meeting protocols or adopt one if they do not have one. Look to practices adopted by local schools, as well as the information published by the County Health Department and GGAC. Some units may decide to meet outdoors, or indoors with masking and social distancing. It is critical that adult leaders guide the youth, parents, and other volunteers to follow the safety protocols to keep scouting safe for all.
