Scouting Ireland - Programme Review - 2017
3. To establish the current barriers and pathways to delivering youth programme.
1.3 Fundamentals of Youth Programme The purpose of ONE Programme is to deliver youth programme across all our age ranges with a similar structure, in a coherent manner. Through this certain elements and concepts are present in each section but each is tailored in an age-appropriate fashion. Resources and materials are designed to appeal to the age range of the specific section while presenting the same concepts in each section via age-appropriate visual aids, language and personal journeys. Some of the building blocks of ONE Programme are: 1. The use of The Scout Method 2. Placing Youth Participation at the heart of the planning process 3. Individual personal journeys / experiences 4. Age-appropriate Programme Materials to support young people.
