understanding for others.
Having the confidence and security to be aware of my emotions, and to understand and accept them. Learning how to deal with situations and people I meet everyday while having respect for other people's emotions and being aware of the impact of my actions.
Having an acceptance of myself and my value as a unique human being, and an equal acceptance of the value of others. Having respect for myself and others and the world in which we live. Having a sense of responsibility for my environment and my place in it.
The aim of scouting is to develop young people Socially, Physically, Intellectually,
Character, Emotionally and Spiritually.
These elements are called the SPICES and are
deeply integrated into the programme experience via the Scout Method, Personal
Progress Awards and Programme designed by young people.
By engaging in a challenging programme of outdoor activities, young people in scouting
go on a personal journey which sees them progress in each of these areas of personal growth.
It is central to the ideals of scouting that this is a personal journey for each individual young person,
so that they can complete it in a manner which suits their own abilities, interests and
circumstances.
