Training!

Ed Levine is the man to see about training!

It is the mission of the Boy Scouts of America to “prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.”

So how do we instill those core values? We start by reciting the Oath and Law at every troop meeting, but we can’t end there. Outings and advancement, Scoutmaster minutes and boards of review all help Scouts learn and practice the values of Scouting.

Now, there’s a new way to teach Scouting values. It’s a series of short videos called “Believe It. Live It.”—videos produced by Scouts for Scouts. The series, produced by Arrowhead Films with support from the Brock Family Trust and the Capitol Area Council (Austin, Texas), includes segments on each point of the Scout Law. In each segment, a Scout interviews one or more people in his community who embody that point of the Law. Firefighters represent trustworthiness, a wheelchair athlete represents cheerfulness, an Iraq war veteran represents bravery, etc.

The videos are very well done and speak the language of today’s Scouts. If you want to teach your Scouts what it means to be trustworthy, loyal, and all the rest, you’ll want to use this material in a troop meeting.
