Scouting or the Scout Movement is a movement that aims to support young people in
their physical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles
in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. A Scout learns the
cornerstones of the Scout method, Scout Promise, and Scout Law. These are
designed to instill character, citizenship, personal fitness, and leadership in boys
through a structured program of outdoor activities. Common ways to implement the
Scout method include spending time together in small groups with shared experiences,
rituals, and activities, as well as emphasizing good citizenship and decision-making
that is age-level appropriate. Cultivating a love and appreciation of the outdoors and
outdoor activities are key elements. Primary activities, mostly on outdoor
include camping, woodcraft, first aid, aquatics, hiking, backpacking, and sports. Thus
scouting is learning by doing, developing character through hands-on activity.
Despite the use of informal education with an emphasis on practical outdoor activities,
the Department of Education embraces the ideas of scouting in schools especially in
the primary and secondary levels, through DepEd Order 68, s. 2003 re: Revitalizing the
Boy/Girl Scouting Movement in Schools. “The Scouting Movement, through the Boy Scouts
of the Philippines (BSP) and the Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP), is an effective program
in leadership training and values formation of every child. The main objective of this Program
is consistent with the Department’s mission to enhance, support, and develop boys and girls
into well-rounded individuals with exemplary character. The BSP and the GSP have, so far,
produced leaders who are true to the Scout Oath and Law or Girl Scout Promise and Law.”
In scouting, a student also learns how to be a community service provider. A student
who is active in scouting is also active in academic areas. They become to be more
dynamic and show interest in studies especially in extracurricular activities. They tend
to be responsible not only as a scout (BSP/GSP) but as a student and a productive
citizen of our country.
