Super Scout skills

This guidance is all about thinking of everything you’ve learned in Scouts so far, and how you can use your new skills to help others in your community.

What you’ve learned

Think about the skills you’ve learned by being a Scout. We’ve added some prompts below to help lead your discussion, and a few activity ideas too:

• What games have you played recently?
• What are your favourite activities that you’ve done at Scouts so far?
• What badges have you worked towards, or earned?
• Can you think of a skill or something you’ve learned?
• What are you most proud of?
• Have you learned how to do something new?
• Have you learned how to work better as a team, or how to lead your group?

Helping the community

Now it’s time to think about how you’ll use your new skills to help the community. Check out the activities below, along with some ideas to get everyone chatting:

• Start by thinking of some things that your community needs. You could make a list together.
• Look at your list of skills or activities you thought of earlier. Are there any things on the list that you could use to help your local community?
• You could run a Youth Forum [LINK] and discuss your ideas together.

Tell the world

Don’t forget to share what you’ve learned! You could?

• Chat to someone about everything you’ve been talking about – it could be a parent, carer, Young Leader, or even your Executive committee. They’d love to hear how the things you’ve learnt at Scouts could help your community.
• Think about how you’ll get your ideas across. You could draw picture, write a story or speech, or make a short presentation to share.
• Have a look at the activities below for some inspiration.
