Mission of Scouting
The mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law, to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society. This is achieved by:
* involving them throughout their formative years in a non-formal educational process.
* using a specific method that makes each individual the principal agent of his or her development as a self-reliant, supportive, responsible and committed person.
* assisting them to establish a value system based upon spiritual, social and personal principles as expressed in the Promise and Law.
Objectives
The objective of the Cub Scouts program is to provide a group environment which is intellectually stimulating, physically vital and directed towards satisfying the child's basic need to face and overcome challenges. Self-developmental activities are as well-entrenched components of the overall drive towards encouraging “Fun & Discovery” amongst the Cubs. The activities are based on the natural sense of fun and enthusiasm of the age group and thus the training is achieved largely through games, interaction in small groups and activities.
Program Style
The major feature of the Cub Scouts program is the catering for the tastes and enthusiasm of the small child through a program that is based on their natural developments tied together with a code of morals.
