First priority of their training is to have a basic knowledge and understanding about scouting. People may say that scouting is just a basic outdoor activity, but scouting has a must essential and developed skills to undertake for life to become useful citizen. Yes, scouting is fun but how do we manage such a cluster or patrol with 8 to 40 girls who rely unto their adult leader, especially in elementary level who is mostly independent to their teachers relied.
Almost 3 years that we had a closed and isolated out of doors activities due to pandemic, and adult leaders come to aged and unable to do rustled-up activities which tackled more adrenaline and hurrying time. Younger version of adult leaders is needed in time like this. With the love of scouting for the love of girls and nature. With these qualities of leaders, scouting must have an enjoyable and exciting adventure was provided in the spirit of scouting. That lead our scouters to acquired and develop them to become leaders and useful citizens of our community and our county in general.
That’s why the Girl Scouts of the Philippines, Aklan Council, conduct basic training for the newly hired and regular teachers in elementary and secondary level. Girl Scouting provides adventures that prepare girl scouts for life in order to develop our girls’ positive values, leadership, friendliness and willingness to serve. To take actions that create meaningful, sustainable change in communities.
