  • 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.

  • Patch and Badge Placement
    Patch and Badge Placement United States Flag This patch is one that you shouldn't have to sew on! Most uniforms come with the flag already attached to the right sleeve. Some previously used uniforms may have it taken off but additional ones can be purchased at the Scout Store. The Boy Scouts of America emblem over the right pocket is also attached to uniforms when purchased. World Crest This patch is worn by all Scouts and Leaders to signify membership of our program in the World Scouting Movement. This patch shows our brotherhood with millions of Scouts around the world. This patch is worn centered above the left pocket in the middle between the top of the pocket and the shoulder seam. Quality Unit Award This award is given units who have met a list of requirements. This award is worn on the right sleeve of the official uniform. The top of the award should be placed 4" below the top of the American flag . Only the Quality Unit Award for the current year may be worn on the uniform . Council Patch This patch is worn by all Scouts and Leaders to indicate the Council that represents their Pack. Each Council develops their own design although the shape and position on the uniform are the same. Our Council is the Occoneechee Council. This patch is worn on the left sleeve just below the shoulder seam. Unit Numerals This patch is worn by all Scouts and Leaders to signify membership in Pack 222. You will see two versions of this patch: a one-piece patch that can be special ordered or the Pack number can be made up of three individual numeral patches that are sewn on next to one another.
