TRAINER’S CORNER

ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SCOUTING THE SCOUT PROMISE AND LAW AND THEIR PRINCIPLES

Scouting is based on value system which is inclusive in the movement. Without the value system, Scouting has no existence. The Founder believed that to improve society, improvement of individuals is necessary. As far as Scouting is concerned, within Scouting, improvement of individual is possible through an educational process. Our educational process involves self-education which progresses as per age i.e. through progressive self-education. B. P. observed that an individual should be given freedom to learn at his own pace unlike class room subjects. And this progressive self-education is based on the Scout Method. Our scout method is Scout Promise and Law, Learning by doing, Membership of small groups i.e. Patrol system. One of the fundamental components of Scout Method is the Scout Promise and Law. Scout Promise is the voluntary personal commitment of the individual to do one`s best to adhere to an ethical code of behavior i.e. Scout Law. He or She should be given sufficient time to live up to the promise. For this reason, the individual who joins the movement is registered as a recruit or an aspirant but not a member of the Movement. He or She is given sufficient time of three months to complete the requirements of Pravesh which covers the Promise and Law. Scout Promise and Law summarise the universal values and these values are expressed in the Principles of the Movement. These principles are the fundamental beliefs which represents the vision of society and forms a code of conduct of all its members. The principles of scouting which form the Promise and Law for the members of the movement are summarized in three categories, namely, • Duty to God – the relationship of the individual to God or spiritual life • Duty to others – the relationship with the society, world and Nature • Duty to Self – the relationship to oneself. How is this idea of `Duty to God` given a practical approach? We encourage the individuals to practice their own religions as followed by their parents. Members of the movement, irrespective of

age should have faith in God and be thankful to HIM for all the beautiful and wonderful things He has given us. Scouts and Guides should say prayers regularly and in reverence. The Nature, the fellow beings, the animals or the birds and all other species are the creation of God. All these are to be shown love and kindness. The young ones should make it a principle that all the elements created by God are to be conserved. `Duty to others` is a realization of the youth that they have to serve or help others as “Service to fellowmen is Service to God. Scouts and Guides should be loyal to the country and should work for peace at local, national and international level. The youth should love their country and be patriotic. Country means fellow citizens. Scouts and Guides should be ready to help others with cheerfulness and does not expect a reward. The help rendered may be big or small but the spirit in which it is done is important. Community service and Community Development programmes or Disaster management programmes are a magnified duty to others. `Duty to Self` is defined as ‘responsibility for the development of oneself” . Scouting is thus based not only upon the principles of “Duty to God” and “Duty to others” but also on the principle that man should take responsibility for the development of his capacities and abilities. He or she should develop skills to sustain themselves in life. They should take care of their physical health and progress in education in order to develop intellectual health to occupy better positions in society to support the family and dependents. Practice of Promise and Law by the scouts and guides in their daily life doubtlessly makes them efficient citizens.

Hints to Unit Leaders:

• It is the special duty of the U.L. to explain the promise in detail using stories and real life situations. • The Promise is to be explained well in advance before he is called for Investiture Ceremony. • It is not enough if the scouts and guides by heart the promise but they should understand it. • While dealing with Scout Law, U.L. should deal the points using several examples from daily life situations and through stories. • Two or three points of the Law should be taken up at a time and they could be illustrated with incidents. • Let the individual take time of his own to discuss with the U.L. for correct and clear under standing. • Suitable Games and other activities can be planned to facilitate practical usage of Promise and Law.
