Scouting offers young people objectives to achieve
This enables them
to develop all the dimensions of the
personality
to establish a framework by which each young
person can achieve that purpose in accordance
with their age and individual character
to serve as a basis on which to assess their
personal growth
6
We carry out activities to reach our objectives

• The educational objectives are
• achieved through everything
• the young people do, within
• Scouting and outside it

• The young people are the main
• players in the activities.

Activities as a flow of experiences
The young people learn through the
experiences they gain from the activities
ACTIVITY what is happening externally the
action which involves everyone. a tool
which generates different situations.
EXPERIENCE it happens within each person.
it is what each person gets from the action
9
Experiences are personal
The experience is a personal relationship between
each young person and reality. As leaders we
cannot affect, manipulate or foresee it with any
degree of certainty. But we can influence the
activities, to try to make them generate or
facilitate experiences.
