Methods of Scouting
The seven Methods of Scouting are as follows:
The Ideals — The ideals of the Boy Scouts of America are spelled out in the Scout Oath, Law, Motto, and Slogan, and Outdoor Code.
The Patrol Method — Each patrol helps its members develop a sense of pride and identity. Through patrols, boys learn how to work with others, make friends, and much more.
The Outdoors — Troop 941's outdoor activities are our scouts' escape to the adventurous world of nature. Our schedule can be viewed on the Troop Calendar page, and gear, other FAQ's, and more can be seen on our camping pages.
Advancement — As one of eight methods of Scouting, advancement is a natural outcome of the other seven. A scout who is active in the Troop 941 program will almost certainly find himself advancing along the trail to Eagle Scout.
Association with Adults — Boys learn a great deal from watching how adults conduct themselves. Scout leaders are positive role models for the members of the Troop. Additionally, scouts learn how to have proper communication with adults.
Personal Growth — Scouting age boys to experience dramatic physical and emotional growth. Scouting offers them opportunities to channel their energy into productive endeavors and find answers they are seeking to many of their questions.
Leadership Development — Troop 941 is a boy led unit. Through leadership experiences, boys learn planning, organization and decision making.
The Uniform — Wearing the uniform develops a sense of belonging and unity to the patrol and troop. The Troop 941 uniform policy is discussed in the meeting attire.
