Outdoor Adventure is the promise made to youth when they join Scouting. In the outdoors, youth have opportunities to acquire skills that make them more self-reliant. They can explore, canoe and hiking trails and complete challenges they first thought were beyond their ability. Attributes of good character become part of the youth as they learn to cooperate to meet outdoor challenges that may include extreme weather, difficult trails, hiking, and dealing with nature's unexpected circumstances.
Traditional Scouting always plan and carry out activities with thoughtful guidance from experienced Scouting Leaders and other adult resources. Good youth leadership, communication, and teamwork enable them to achieve goals they have set for themselves, their Six or Patrols, and their Pack and Troop.
Learning by doing is part of the Patrol System and is a hallmark of outdoor education. Meetings offer information and knowledge used on outdoor adventures each month throughout the year. A senior youth or leader may describe and demonstrate a Scouting skill at a meeting, but the way Scouts truly learn outdoor skills is to do it themselves on a Pack or Troop outing.
Exercise and fitness is part of the outdoor experience. As Scouting youth hike, paddle, climb, bike, or ride, their muscles become toned and their aerobic capacity increases. When they work as a Six or Patrol to plan menus for their outings, they learn to purchase cost-effective ingredients to prepare flavourful and nutritious meals.
Service to others and good community is learned through such outdoor activities as conservation projects, collecting food, building trails and shelters, and conducting community service projects that promote healthy living. Through helping other people, Scouting youth learn to appreciate how they can share themselves and their blessings to those in need. By giving service to benefitothers, Scouting youth gain a sense of personal satisfaction.
