In order to achieve the aims of Scouting, we utilize the eight methods of Scouting:
Ideals
The ideals are spelled out in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Scouts measure themselves against these ideals and continually try to improve.
Personal Growth
As they follow the Scout Oath and Scout Law, plan their activities, and progress toward their goals, Scouts grow as individuals of good character.
Association With Adults
Responsible adult leaders serve as positive role models, and Scouts learn by observing how those leaders conduct themselves.
Leadership Development
Scouts are given repeated opportunities to learn leadership skills and put them into action while serving others.
Patrol Method
The patrol method gives each Scout an opportunity to share responsibility, exercise good judgment, and develop participating citizenship. The patrol is the basic unit of Scouting.
Outdoors
It is in the outdoor setting that Scouts put a variety of skills into action, while having all kinds of fun.
Advancement
The advancement program provides Scouts with opportunities to gain understanding, learn useful skills, and receive recognition.
Uniform
The uniform is more than a place for the proper display of patches and badges. It gives the Scout identity in a world brotherhood that believes in the same ideals.
