  • Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a Proposal – December 2011
    Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a proposal – December 2011 Lord Baden-Powell & Duty to God God is not some narrow-minded personage, as some people would seem to imagine, but a vast Spirit of Love that overlooks the minor differences of form and creed and denomination and which blesses every [person] who really tries to do his [/her] best, according to his [/her] lights, in His service. in “Rovering to Success” Reverence to God, reverence for one’s neighbour and reverence for oneself as a servant of God, are the basis of every form of religion. in “Aids to Scoutmastership” Spirituality means guiding ones’ own canoe through the torrent of events and experiences of one’s own history and of that of [humankind]. To neglect to hike – that is, to travel adventurously – is to neglect a duty to God. God has given us individual bodies, minds and soul to be developed in a world full of beauties and wonders. in “The Scouter” January 1932 The aim in Nature study is to develop a realisation of God the Creator, and to infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature. in “Girl Guiding” Real Nature study means…knowing about everything that is not made by [humans], but is created by God. In all of this, it is the spirit that matters. Our Scout law and Promise, when we really put them into practice, take away all occasion for wars and strife among nations. The wonder to me of all wonders is how some teachers have neglected Nature study, this easy and unfailing means of education, and have struggled to impose Biblical instruction as the first step towards getting a restless, full-spirited boy to think of higher things.

  • Mini Guide to Rovering
    BPSA MINI-GUIDE TO ROVERING What is Rovering? Simply put, Rovering is “a brotherhood of open air and service.” In concept, Rovering was originally intended to be the final stage in Scouting for youths who came up through Wolf Cubs and Scouts. When a Scout reached age 17, he would transition from his Scout Troop to a Rover Crew of young adults. A Rover Scout could then further his training in citizenship by learning new skills to help him focus on a meaningful career while at the same time rendering service to the community. In a practical sense, Rovers get to do a lot of fun things, most of which happen outdoors. We get to play the same game of Scouting that kids get to do. We camp and hike. We learn any manner of outdoor skills, including pioneering, signaling, astronomy, and animal tracking, to name a few. We learn things in patrols just as the kids do. We also render service to the community at large via projects designed by the Rovers themselves. Some who join will also (or eventually) be Scouters, and the fun and adventure will make them better leaders. Others join simply to be a Scout, and that’s fine, too. The backbone of our program is the book called Scouting for Boys, written by the founder of the Scouting movement, Lord Robert Baden-Powell. It is a must-read for anyone who is lured by the idea of Rovering. If you were a Scout as a youth, it will give you an idea of what the movement was like when it was young.

  • Understanding Your Role As a Girl Scout Leader Volunteer
    Understanding Your Role as a Girl Scout Leader Volunteer As a Girl Scout Leader volunteer, you’ll serve as a partner and role model to girls. You’ll also work closely with a co-volunteer, because two volunteers must be present at all times when working with girls, and at least one of those volunteers must be female and not related to the other adult. This is an important distinction that bears repeating: Men can serve as troop volunteers, but an adult female who is not related to the other volunteer must be present at all times, and only in cases of emergency is a girl to be alone with only one volunteer. Remember to always check the volunteer-to-girl ratios in the “Girl Scout Activity Safety Standards & Guidelines” section of Safety Activity Checkpoints and the “Safety” chapter of Volunteer Essentials. In More than ‘Smores: Success and Surprises in Girl Scouts Outdoor Experiences, the Girl Scout Research Institute (GSRI) has described the role of Adult Volunteers: “Because everything girls do outdoors in Girl Scouts must be supported by an adult, these results speak indirectly to adult volunteers and their preparation. To get girls outdoors more regularly, Girl Scouts need adult volunteers who encourage and promote outdoor experiences. Communicating to volunteers and parents that casual outdoor experiences are effective ways of giving girls opportunities to build competencies and try new things may be the key to opening the gateway for all Girl Scouts to participate in the outdoors on a more regular basis.” (2014, p.27) Responsibilities of the Volunteer Every adult in Girl Scouting is responsible for the physical and emotional safety of girls, and we all demonstrate that by agreeing to follow these guidelines at all times.

Use a table to piece together the different pieces of a WAGGGS pin. Leader: The horseshoe formation symbolizes the open friendship circle. In the open end of the horseshoe stand our sister Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world. If they were actually here, our horseshoe would become a completed circle, having no beginning or end. [Then come a series of questions and answers, which you can divide up in any practical way. We had the people who asked the questions come forward to place the part of the pin they asked about on the felt board while someone else read the answer.] What is the world pin? It is the pin of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. We are going to construct such a pin. As we do, let us consider very carefully the reason for its color and design. Then we will know how deep a feeling of international friendship it can inspire in it. What does the gold circle around the edge stand for? The gold band surrounding our pin symbolizes the sun that shines on children all over the world. Why is the world pin blue? The blue background symbolizes the sky above us, all over the world. Why do we have a trefoil in the World pin? The gold trefoil is the sign of Girl Scouting and Girl Guiding around the world.

  • Conducting a Successful Eagle Scout Court of Honor
    Bay-Lakes Council Boy Scouts of America Conducting a Successful Eagle Scout Court of Honor Every Scout that achieves the rank of Eagle deserves special recognition. Prepared by the Bay-Lakes Council Advancement Committee Revised for 2010 Conducting a Successful Eagle Scout Court of Honor Forward This booklet is published by the Bay-Lakes Council Advancement Committee to assist the troop committee in planning a recognition ceremony appropriate for the achievement of the rank of Eagle Scout. We frequently refer to “The Eagle Court of Honor” book by Mark Ray. It is not an official publication of the Boy Scouts of America. However, Mr. Ray is an Eagle Scout, and his book is compiled from contributions from many, many Scouters. An order form is included in the back of this publication and the book is available at the Council Scout Shops. There are a few areas that the book does not adequately cover. This publication will hopefully address them. Keep in Mind that the purpose of an Eagle Scout Court of Honor is first, to honor the Scout. If the Court of Honor is executed well, it will inspire other Scouts to follow the adventurous and rewarding Eagle Scout trail. A dignified and meaningful Court of Honor will also show the community the result of the Scouting program, so they will direct other boys into the Scouting programs and support the movement.
