MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value
system based on the Scout Promise and Law, to help build a better world where people
are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.
This is achieved by
• involving them throughout their formative years in a non-formal educational process
• using a specific method that makes each individual the principal agent in his or her development as a selfreliant, supportive, responsible and committed person
• assisting them to establish a value system based upon spiritual, social and personal principles as expressed in the Promise and Law.
SCOUTING promises you the great outdoors. As a Scout, you can learn how to camp and hike without leaving a trace and how to take care of the environment. You will study wildlife up close and learn about nature all around you. There are plenty of skills for you to master, and you can teach others what you have learned. Everyone helping everyone else - that's part of Scouting, too.
SCOUTING promises you friendship. Members of the troop you join, might be boys and girls you already know, and you will meet many other Scouts along the way. Some could become lifelong friends.
SCOUTING promises you opportunities to work towards the Springbok Scout rank. You will set positive goals for yourself and then follow clear routes to achieve them.
SCOUTING promises you tools to help you make the most of your family, your community and your country. The good deeds you perform every day will improve the lives of those around you. You will be prepared to help others in time of need.
SCOUTING promises you experience and duties that will help you mature into a strong, wise adult. The Scout Oath and the Scout Law can guide you while you are a Scout and throughout your life.
Adventure, learning, challenge, responsibility - the promise of Scouting is all this and more.
