Scouting DNA â Scouting and guiding fundamentals 6.11. klo 9.30-12.30
Toisen aamun ensimmÀinen setti, Scouting DNA.
âSession is going to go beyond the roles and stereotypes of scouting and guiding, and provide a better understanding of the perception of the movement, its mission and vision, and will elaborate the present challenges related to playing an active role in society.â
I actually attended in a similar session already a year ago in the last Academy. But Iâm glad I chose this today as well. Last year we concentrated more on how to present scouting to outsiders or in Finnish âEVPâ. This year we were concentrating more on the fact âWhat makes scouting scouting -to scoutsâ. What are the characteristics that define scouting etc.
Of course all this can be seen within scout method (partiomenetelmÀ), scout development areas (kasvatustavoitteet; suhde itseen, suhde toisiin, suhde ympÀristöön ja suhde yhteiskuntaan) as well as in scout law and promise.
We found that the distinctive facts are not always the same even to all us scouts. Or they are the same but the emphasis might be totally different according to culture, age, gender, the way you were raised etc.
We all shoud ask ourselves these three questions:
This is on course very basic but I think we all have to be reminded about it once in awhile.
We had a quiz: (Iâm sorry I didnât write these down, has to be checked from the material when it is available.)
1. Find 5 distinctive characteristics/elements every scout has?
2. What are the characteriscs of specific task that makes it scouting
3. Name at least 5 activities that are scouting and why
4. Can these activities be scouting/guiding and why
                            1. Photocompetition and exhibition
                            ⊠(I donât even remember these, but they all could be, according to the learning ability within the activities -> partion pÀÀmÀÀrÀÀ kohti)
The last groupwork of the session was âTry to convince the parent why scouting would be better than some other hobby -> f.ex English lanquage-camp vs. International Jamboree.
So what more scouting has to offer than some other hobby. We took the picture of our presentation and it is posted in the blog already.
Couple of very nice groupwork exercises to be used in many different levels back home (LPK-taso, LPKJ-taso, Piiritaso, AO-koulutus jne)
Ja kappas vaan, Miilupartiolaiset (HyvinkÀÀltÀ) olivat kÀyttÀneet yhtÀ saman tyyppistÀ harjotusta juuri ROK-kurssillaan (Snapshot MiPan fb-sivulta).
"Opin, ettei Tuomo ole niin pelottava kuin luulin!" MiPan rokkilaiset listasivat, mitĂ€ ovat vuoden aikana tehneet ja oppineet partiossa. Laput ryhmiteltiin partiomenetelmĂ€-palapelin pÀÀlle. âȘ#âpartiohyvinurmi âȘ#âpartioscout âȘ#âuusimaapartio
Kuten sanottua, tosi "peruskauraa", mutta meitĂ€ kaikkia kannattaa silloin tĂ€llöin muistuttaa siitĂ€ âMiten, Kenelle ja Miksiâ!!
