Despite the important role of schools in raising children, there are qualities and skills that you cannot bestow on them directly, but the life of scouts brings them to them such as resilience, rationality, flexibility, common sense, responsibility, helping others and believing in their individual abilities.

Scouting is one of the greatest factories that work to draw your child's personality and add touches that make him unique from his peers around him. Exodus to the vast nature frees the mind and soul so that the child learns from nature lessons that he cannot acquire in his ordinary life, to grow new skills for him through his adventures within the group of scouting activities.

The beginning of the scouts

It started on August 1, 1907, when 20 boys gathered in the first pilot scout camp on Brownsea Island, near the town of Poole in Dorset, England. The owner of that initiative was Robert Baden-Powell, a soldier, artist and writer, who managed to bring together young people from different backgrounds together, in an attempt to bridge gaps in society, and give everyone the opportunity to learn new skills.

The idea was radically new at the time, but it paved the way for what would happen later, and within two years, there were 100,000 Scouts in the UK.

Scout groups are divided according to age groups:

Beavers: 6 to 8 years

Cubs group: 8 to 10 and a half

Scouts: 10 to 14 minutes

Explorers group: 14 to 18

Scout Network: From 18 to 25 years old

Scouts in touch with nature

Maria tells Al Jazeera Net, a leader at "23 Wembley" Scout in London, children are affected by what is around them all the time in their daily lives, and it starts even before they can talk, so they see them talking to their parents and copying what they do. Their circles then evolve to include their school friends and teachers, the things that they see around them, or watch on TV or other mobile devices.

But when they come to the Boy Scouts activity, these devices are not allowed, so they can devote themselves to doing new things, and interact with others in their group. I know that sometimes they want to chat and laugh with their colleagues on the weekends in the camp, especially on the first night they can't sleep.

"And they learn a lot of skills that are difficult to learn in the home or school, how to start campfire, pitching tents, climbing mountains, learn about different cultures, rowing, and making things from nature tools and many other skills, it may be the exclusion of children these days from technology Really difficult, which is why scouts are important to reconnect with nature and discover new things about themselves. "

Trust and responsibility

According to a study published on the official website of the Scouts in the United Kingdom, to monitor the views of 2000 parents, the result was that 9 out of 10 parents consider that the scouts are worthwhile; And 7 out of 10 think they are very worthy of attention, and 9 out of 10 say that their children find scouts fun, while 6 out of 10 think it is very enjoyable.

Parents see that scouts give their children more confidence and responsibility, get to know larger groups of friends, an opportunity to pursue things that they may not otherwise be able to do, adventure and build extended relationships. Many parents feel that their children who attend scouts have a real reason to be proud of their accomplishments.
