  3.

  4. “Why worry about individual training?...Because it is the only way by which you can educate. You can instruct any number of boys, a thousand at a time if you have a loud voice and attractive methods of disciplinary means. But that is not training – it is not education” (Aids to Scoutmastership)

  5. What’s personal progression? Personal progression focuses specially on helping each young person to be consciously and actively involved in his or her own development.

  6. […] «Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? » «That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,» said the Cat. «I don’t much care where --» said Alice. «Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,» said the Cat. «-- as long as I get somewhere,» Alice added as an explanation. «Oh, you are sure to do that,» said the Cat, «if you only walk long enough.»

  7. What’s the progressive scheme? The progressive scheme is the main tool used to support this element of the Scout Method. • Focused on each individual • Considering each person’s strengths • Based on a set of educational objectives

  8. « Our goal should be to develop, in each young person, ambition and hope, and the sense of achievement which will carry him on to greater ventures » (B.P)

  9. What for? • to work out a set of personal development objectives • to establish how, in concrete terms, he or she intends to reach those objectives • to motivate young people to be and to do better • to guide young people on his/her development trail

  10. What for? • to enable young people to discover new skills, talents or professional opportunities • to evaluate, recognise and celebrate the progress made. • To acquire analysis and planning routines for his/her life

  14. Implications for Programme Design The progressive scheme needs to: • be conceived with the application of the Scout Method in mind • be simple and clearly related to recognisable “milestones”marking personal progress • be attractive to young people • serve to motivate young people to make progress in their personal development • be easy for young people to understand and use with the help of the adult leader

  15. Implications for Programme Design (2) • make full use of the symbolic framework for the age section • be adapted to the age of the young people • offer choice to young people • be sufficiently flexible, while covering all areas of development, so that the young people can build their own personal objectives

  16. Implications for Programme Dissemination • to be presented clearly to both adult leaders and youth members • to design special handbooks and other information for each age section: - introducing the Scout Movement and the age section - describing the application of the Scout Method to that section - presenting the progressive scheme

  17. Implications for Programme Dissemination (2) - explaining how personal educational objectives are determined through dialogue with the adult leader - how they are attained through activities and life in the group - how progress is evaluate and recognised - describing the proficiency areas and requirements

  18. Implications for Programme Implementation • helping the newcomer to discover Scouting • building self-confidence • helping the young person to set personal • objectives • facilitating the young people’s progress • sustaining motivation and providing support to • overcome difficulties • ensuring that what is gained is put to use to • enrich the group
