We are preparing a special thematic training for youth and adults in the organization, in order to better prepare them for work in the organization and for life.
Adult Support
Support young adults include three aspects that correspond to the three roles that adults must play within the scout squad.
Leaders: they must ensure that every activity is organized by the squad is successfully carried out. Adults are not expected to know all the necessary skills for the activities, their responsibility is to provide the necessary technical support, and that their knowledge and experience made available to the scout squad when and where needed.
Instructors: must directly support the process of self-education and to ensure that young peoples experience has a positive impact on the development of knowledge, skills and behavior of these young people. In other words, the instructor as a teacher has to make contact with each individual member - male or female - to help a young person to identify their development needs, to helpthem accept those needs and ensure that it adequately meet the scout program for youth.
Elderly: in a voluntary partnership between adults and young people it must be ensured that such relations within the group are of a positive spirit and enrich all, and that as a group provide attractive environment for steady growth in a scout squad as a whole. The result is a rich partnership in learning between adults and young people based on mutual respect and trust.
