NEW PROGRAM KEEPSSCOUTING YOUNG
Fresh new thinking, combined with the continued
search, for better ways to serve its ,members has
resulted in a bold new program for the Boy
Scout Section of the Canadian Scout Movement.
The new program—for the more than 70,000 boys
aged 11.. to 14 who make up the section—comes
one year after the launching of Venturers, which
gave youth aged 14 to '17 a distinctive program
of their own.
The new Scowlt program has been approved .
'the National Executive Co ►mittee of the Boy
Scouts - of Canada. The new program will go .:into
effect nationally. on September 1, 1968. The pro -
grain represents a dramatic change in thinking
within the Movement which last year Marked the
both anniversary of its founding by the legendary
Lord Baden-Powell of,, Gilwell. Main reasons for
the changes are:
A change in thinking within the Movement which
recognizes the importance of a more J oy centred
program with -increased emphaaia on fostering
personal relationships. The launching of the
Venturers program for boys aged 14.17 last year,.
which left the 11-14 year old Scouts with a ,pro ,
gram designed for 1.117 year olds, Now there its
an increased emphasis on smell friendship and
interest groups. Now there is a leadership atruc.
ture where all Scouts and adults are given the
opportunity to share.. in the leadership of troops
and patrols. The new program encourages the
use of part-time :specialists .,to Issiist the boys,
Now there is a multiple -stage and greatly expand
ed . badge and award scheme wherein holm-are,
relatively free to choose and work toward badges:
and awards at their own level of competence, No
'longer are the boys, forced • to adapt to a prro-
gram -- instead. the program is adaptable to the
needs and Interests of the boys.
VEP TURE:MI .IT'S MEW
The revolutionary program is proving, so popular
that by the first year of its founding (November -
1967) there were already between 10:000 and 15,».
000 members across Canada. The Venturersec-
lion encourages boys to .express' their own ideas
about Scout uniforms, programs, organization and
leadership. Their leaders are advisers, not bosses.
GOOD TRAINING
Saluting helps to develop character . - `trains a
boy in citizenship . . . teaches self-reliance
develops his natural gifts.
