The Fundamentals (Purpose, Principles, Mission, Title Aim, Method, Promise & Law) of Scouting in 21St YPR Paper No Scouts Australia Youth Program Review 01 September 2015 Fellow Scouting members and friends of Scouting, The Youth Program Review (YPR) is conducting a wide variety of research to ensure we develop the best possible youth program for our future youth members. This research features a multi-faceted approach using our own teams, external demographers and researchers, exploration of previous research and working with other similar National Scout Organisations. The following research was completed by a team of volunteers as part of Stage 3 of the YPR, exploring a whole range of information to build some foundations for our future “one program”. The questions for these topics were derived from feedback and related discussion and workshopping of initial YPR research. “One Program” is the mantra under which this stage of the review has worked, recognising that although we use age sections, these must be strongly linked and united in working progressively towards a common goal, facilitating the development of individual young people. Stage 3 was all about developing the big-picture concepts of a future youth program for Australian Scouting, concepts that will drive the ideas and detail that will emerge from Stage 4. The progress of the various proposals contained within this report are highlighted under the “Recommendations” heading. Share your considered and constructive thoughts at ypr.scouts.com.au; through discussion great ideas can evolve.

  • 16 Crew Meeting Report
    13th HUSSARS ONLINE During this lockdown which has taken place due to the corona virus pandemic, we, 13th Hussars Open Rover Scout Group, have discovered a great method to keep the scouting spirit alive. When everyone was stuck at home, we Hussars were able to set a unique example. For the first time in the history of Bangladesh Scouts, a group conducted their crew meetings online and that group was 13th Hussars Open Rover Scout Group. We are not bragging, but needless to say, the use of technology by Hussars to conduct scouting activities is certainly inimitable for other groups. We do not support scouting activities being done online. We believe that scouting activities should be done practically and physically. But during this lockdown, there were no other better alternatives. For that reason, we will continue our scouting activities online until it’s safe for everyone to go outside our houses. Therefore, we are emphasising to learn the theoretical contents of the Rover Program. A special thanks to Zoom, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other online social media platforms from our family, for enabling us to make the online meetings possible during this pandemic. Some pictures with short explanation of some of the online crew meetings are given below. FIRST ONLINE CREW MEETING Online Crew Meeting 20th March 2020 - PART - 01 Flag Hoisting, Prayer Song and Patrol Report. As per the current situation of our Country we all must stay at our home to stay safe. And for the first time in the history we conducted the weekly Crew Meeting of our group virtually online with all the members of our group.
