Tips to improve Scouting and guiding activities and motivate
- Scouts and Guides enjoy things by learning by doing. Anything taught theoretically would bore them, demonstrate and let them try things.
- Follow a patrol system, teach patrol leaders, and let the Patrol Leader Boy teach the rest of the patrol members (Boys).
- Conduct a quiz / first raise with small gifts to motivate and make it more enjoyable.
- Conduct troop meetings regularly. When meetings are conducted less frequently/randomly, they lose interest and forget the things taught previously.
- Every child has his/her own unique ability to do things, identifying them and giving them the opportunity to bring out their talent. By doing it, the child’s confidence will increase.
- Go at a slow pace. Do not try to teach too many things at once.
- Give every child an opportunity to be a leader for different roles based on the boy’s capability.
