Delivering the Promise to our Youth Our Youth Programme Our local programme and this Activity Plan is based on the World Scout Youth Programme Policy. This a framework, which provides guidance for the ongoing development of the Youth Programme in the global movement. Since its foundation, Scouting has been a non-formal educational movement. The Scout Programme is the procedure through which our Movement implements its educational purpose. Robert Baden-Powell (B-P) stated the elements of the programme in Scouting for Boys, first published in 1908, and updated in every single edition in the following 15 years. Reading it, we can find an explanation of What, How, and Why we are doing all that we are now doing in Scouting.
Understanding the Youth Programme Policy. Introduction Scouting is an educational movement for and of young people based upon the Fundamentals of Scouting: its purpose, principles, and method. The cause of Scouting is Education for Life where the Youth Programme is the main medium through which young people are educated for life. Hence the Youth Programme is the central element of Scouting, the vehicle through which the purpose of Scouting is achieved. Without the Youth Programme, there is no Scouting. Definition of the Youth Programme in Scouting The Youth Programme is the totality of what young people do in Scouting (the activities), how it is done (the Scout Method) and the reason why it is done (the purpose).
The word ‘Youth’ in Scouting refers to all boys and girls involved in the Educational Programme within the Movement. The learning experience within Scouting focuses on the young person development; therefore the Youth Programme ends at adulthood (it includes childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood only) The Youth Programme is implemented through a partnership between young people and adults, based on the young person’s interests, needs and abilities and together they should:
The Youth Programme should be everyone’s job within the Scout Movement at all levels. It is important to differentiate between who is facilitating, supporting, and developing the Youth programme. At all levels of work within the Youth Programme three roles performed by adults can be identified: Evaluates, analyses, and designs the programme according to young people’s needs, taking into account any new trends that arise. This role is generally practised by the Youth Programme teams that develop the programme at any level.
Creates the right circumstances for young people to gain positive learning experiences through their Scout life. This role is linked more to the implementation of the programme.
Assists the development and implementation of the Youth Programme. It includes a wide span of adults in Scouting who may be volunteers or professionals working in the field of the Youth Pro-
gramme or elsewhere (e.g. in Adult Support).

Scouting: A Worldwide Brotherhood
So long as the spirit of goodwill and cooperation is there; there is brotherhood. But, mind you, self slips in unexpectedly sometimes; maybe it takes the form of a feeling that one is blessed with a gift for making a specially fine troop, or one is keen to show one’s patriotism to be greater than one’s neighbors; or one rather fancies oneself in a backwoodsman’s kit, and so on. Harmless weaknesses, but giving expression to self.
Search yourself and see that you are free from it. Otherwise there is bound to follow some little sense of rivalry, some little difference of ideals with your neighbors, from which springs, if not envy or dislike, at least aloofness. In other words, not quite the right spirit is engendered. Brothers we are to our boys, brothers to each other we must be, if we are going to do any good. Only the other day I saw a letter from a Scouter who had been having a hard struggle to carry on his Troop singlehanded in a poor slum, and his spirit had been depressed not by his difficulties but by his “utter isolation and the very little spirit” of fellowship “shown by those around him who might” have given a helping hand. Whose fault it was I don’t know, but such aloofness or jealousy could not exist where there is the true ideal of brotherhood. What we need, and what, thank God, we’ve got in most places in our movement, is not merely the spirit of good natured tolerance but of watchful sympathy and readiness to help one another. We not only need it but we’ve “got to have it” if we are going to teach our boys by the only sound way, that is through our own example, that greatest of principles - goodwill and cooperation.

Let’s Make a Splash! Welcome to water activities month, when scouts can enjoy aquatic adventures and learn about water safety and other related skills. Our programs are designed to improve the safety and enjoyment of all aquatic and boating activities in Scouting, providing our members with unique opportunities to explore and experience the outdoors to its fullest.
During this month leaders are encouraged to facilitate and incorporate water-based activities into their meeting and outdoor program. Leaders can: • Have an outing to the beach, community pool or other outdoor venue. • Take part in a learn to swim or life saving program • Introduce older scouts to marine or water based activities. • Have an outing to a marine base (coast guard) or similar location.
SAFETY FIRST Simple tasks can become risky if basic safety precautions are ignored, and apparently dangerous activities can be done with minimal risk with proper planning and safeguards. For all aquatics activities a qualified life guard must be present and on duty. For any activity, several items foster safety. A review of common causes of accidents is a good place to start. With that knowledge, rules and procedures can then be established to avoid risky situations. Prevention is the first and most important safety consideration. Key components for prevention include the health and skill of participants, the safety of equipment and the environment, and the observance of rules and procedures (supervision and discipline). Contingency plans are important in case an emergency does arise. Prompt recognition of a developing crisis is a nontrivial task that requires conscientious effort and a plan for adequate surveillance of everyone in the activity.
The buddy system is used in Scouting to provide one-on-one observation to augment the scrutiny provided by the unit leader and rescue personnel. Appropriate response to an emergency is easier when a pre-arranged emergency action plan is implemented by those trained in relevant rescue skills.

C O M M U N I T Y I M PA C T Yuletide Good Turns Week While Scouts should not be expected to 'parade' their services, it would be helpful if Scout Leaders, parents, and others would encourage boys in the doing of Good Turns, and recognize the difference between normal household and other chores, and actual Good Turns. Selfishness is almost a universal evil. Certainly it is overcome by the Scout Program, which is based upon the development of service for others, and the Daily Good Turn is an important factor in the development of a habit of service and attitude of mind which offset a tendency to selfishness.
James E. West, 1928 At the very heart of the Scout Movement is the friendly Good Turn. It might even be called the motive power of the Movement and because it is such an essential element of character in our youth, our organization, and to society in general. It is of great importance that we understand all that it really means as well as how to best stimulate its use and recognize its values. This year, we decided to try something new. Scouts, either as individuals or in patrols and sixes, are encouraged to in their neighbourhoods and communities do good deeds. This may include cleaning up for an elderly neighbor, helping do chores at a nursing or children's home, hospital or any act of good will to their community.

EVERY CHILD HAS THE RIGHT

LIVE IT!
WOSM’s YOUTH INVOLVEMENT POLICY THE BASIC PRINCIPLE Scouting is a Movement of young people, supported by adults; it is not a Movement for young people managed by adults only. Thus, Scouting offers the potential for a learning community of young people and adults, working together in a partnership of enthusiasm and experience.
Youth Involvement not only provides the opportunity and space for young people from diverse backgrounds to have a say in issues that affect their lives, but also the lives of others in their communities. It is also capacity building: it enables young people to gain adequate skills and knowledge through which they strengthen self -confidence and learn to be responsible members of their societies.
This basic principle should be reflected both in the Youth Programme of a National Scout Finally, involving young people in Association and in the decision-making motivates them to management structures of the NSO be active citizens, and realise the at every level. responsibility they carry as Policy on Involvement of Young individuals towards the community Members in Decision-Making, as a whole. adopted by Resolution 2/93. In WOSM, youth involvement is WHAT IS YOUTH INVOLVEMENT? observed on three interrelated levels: educational, institutional and Young people are valuable members of our societies; they are community level. Each of these active citizens who are contributing encompasses different objectives for youth involvement, and to resolving the challenges our communities are facing today. With concentrates on a specific set of benefits to young people, adults contemporary issues demanding intergenerational collaboration for and their broader communities to finding solutions, the importance of be gained from involving youth in involving young people in decision- decision-making processes. making processes is visible now more than ever before.
The full policy can be found on the WOSM website.
The Patrol System The foundation of Active Citizenship The patrol system is the most essential element of Scouting. It is the central focus of successfully delivering all that the Scouting program promises. Applying the patrol system (or method) has always been a challenge as it is often misunderstood. Recent global surveys have indicated that: • 45% of patrols are often combined for a given activity or event. • 49% of patrols have 10 minutes or less scheduled at troop meetings, 17% have no time scheduled. • 41% of troops have inter-patrol activities less than once a month. • 87% of troops do not have their patrols set up independent campsites; of these 29% make no differentiation of patrols at all when camping • 60% of patrols have no independent meetings or activities. An effective Patrol System supports the method of scouting, by creating the environment for developing committed leaders and enabling young people to become active citizens through an understanding of responsibility, decision making and accountability at the individual and community level. Baden-Powell’s vision of the Patrol Method supports fully the concept of Youth Involvement. Youth Leading, Adults Supporting is one of the eight elements of the Scout Method and is fully represented by BP’s Patrol
System. In its most basic form, “Youth Leading, Adults Supporting” is about young people taking charge of their Scouting journey while being assisted and mentored by adults. Young people are in the driver’s seat, making developmentally appropriate decisions about what they want in their Scouting, and learning life skills as they interact with other youth members and adults. Youth Leading, Adults Supporting develops a voice for youth members to achieve their goals through Scouting, and to develop and run the program they need to achieve their personal development goals. This process reinforces character development and supports effective succession planning for the movement. In many Scouting activities there is currently strong youth leadership during adventures (the Do stage); formal leadership positions within the Patrol System are well-utilised for leadership when undertaking Scouting activities. Currently however, in many of our Group’s activities, it is adults alone who decide upon, plan, organise and review the activities that young people participate in. Group and District councils encouraged to fully assess

Lessons in
character
Our Founder's birthday is an occasion for Scouts everywhere to celebrate.
On 22 February, we recall our Scouting adventures, meet our Scouting friends, proudly wear our scarves and celebrate the great diversity of our worldwide Movement. It is also a time for us to renew our Scout Promise. The understanding of our promise is a foundational Lesson in Character. During this month leaders have the opportunity to highlight the history of our Founder and the values espoused by the Promise and Law. You are invited to make this Founder's Day extraordinary. Through our unique educational programme, think about how you can make a positive difference - for the environment, for your family and friends, for your community.
Baden-Powell once said, "Look above the level of things around you and see a higher aim and possibility to your work." Let us take inspiration from his words, look beyond our limits, and act to create a better world. What programme opportunities can you create for character development, for life lessons that instill in our youth the ideals that the movement stands forthose timeless values that are at the core of our purpose.
Founder’s Day activities for your group can be found in the December edition of Scouting around. Also tell us how your group plans to celebrate Founder’s Day and we will post on the ScoutsTT website.

The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to the elimination of hunger.
• •
Globally, one in nine people in the world today (815 million) are undernourished
•
One in four of the world’s children suffer stunted growth. In developing countries, the proportion can rise to one in three.
The majority of the world’s hungry people live in developing countries, where 12.9 per cent of the population is undernourished.
Through our Scouting for Food initiative ScoutsTT will be working towards the elimination of hunger in our communities and fulfilling our promise to develop active citizenship among our youth members.
LET’S IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH SERVICE
What is STEM? STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Although the term STEM has only gained popularity in the last several years, the activities of STEM have been a part of the Scout program since its beginning. Scouting is about preparing young people for the future. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are the future. What better way for Scouting to continue in its mission than to introduce a whole new adventure for Scouts interested in exploring STEM. Whether it’s the medical science involved in the First Aid badge or the engineering involved in trying to build pioneering projects, STEM is everywhere in Scouting. This is part of an initiative of ScoutsTT to encourage the natural curiosity of youth members and their sense of wonder about these fields through existing programs. From archery to welding, Scouts can’t help but enjoy the wide range of STEM-related activities. To support this initiative, ScoutsTT introduced its annual Science Camp in 2016 for cub scouts and will extend this to scouts and venture scouts in 2019. We have also introduced many STEM related proficiency badges into our programme. All of this is a recognition of the fact that scouting is an educational movement, though using an informal method.

Delivering the Promise of Adventure
Lets go...CAMPING! Try these activities at your camp •
Scavenger Hunt A scavenger hunt is great fun on camp! It can help sharpen powers of observation, too! Create a list of 10 items for the scouts to find on the campsite.
•
Knot-tying Relay Race At each leg of the relay, a scout is required to tie a different knot on the way to the finish line. This is a fun way to test knots and can also be used for first-aid, and other scouting skills.
•
Blind Fetch Scatter different sized balls in open area. One player is blindfolded while the remaining players direct him/her to locate balls and return them to base. Most balls collected wins.
