RELATED RESEARCH TOPICS 1. Scoutcraft – Scoutcraft is a term used to cover a variety of woodcraft knowledge and skills required by people seeking to venture into wild country and sustain themselves independently. The term has been adopted by Scouting organizations to reflect skills and knowledge which are felt to be a part of the various programs. Skills commonly included are camping, cooking, first aid, wilderness survival, for Europeans, Scoutcraft grew out of the woodcraft skills necessary to survive in the expanding frontiers of the New World in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Frontiersmen such as Daniel Boone needed these skills to travel through the uncharted wildernesses, as the nineteenth century moved on, Scoutcraft began to be adopted by parts of some military forces, as the way in which wars and battles were fought changed. The American scout Frederick Russell Burnham brought Scoutcraft to Africa and, in the Second Matabele War, he introduced it to Robert Baden-Powell, Baden-Powell first began forming his idea for a programme of training young men in Scoutcraft whilst scouting with Burnham in Matobo Hills, Matabeleland. Later, Baden-Powell wrote a number of books on the subject, after the Second Boer War, Baden-Powell enjoyed a celebrity status for his command at Mafeking. He set about writing a new book, Scouting for Boys and this was removed from his earlier, more martial works, but kept the idea of Scoutcraft as a core part of the Scouting program. Similar books were published in America by Ernest Thompson Seton, a pioneer of the Scouting movement in the United States, Scoutcraft is still a core part of many organisations programs 2. Scouts Australia – It operates personal development programs for children and young adults from 6 to 25 years of age in Australia and Australian territories. Scouts Australia was formed in 1958 and was incorporated in 1967, Scouts Australias programs were opened to girls after 1971. According to a 2014 media article, Scouts Australia is hoping arrest a decline in membership. In 1979 the organisation had 114,500 youth members, today there are 52,000 and this means the organisation has an exceptionally high number of adults compared to its number of youth participants with a ratio of more than 1 adult,3 youths. For the history of Boy Scouts and the Scout Movement in Australia generally, branches of The Boy Scouts Association of the United Kingdom were formed in each of the Australian states. Initially each Australian state branch was responsible to Imperial Headquarters of The Boy Scouts Association in London. In 1922, The Boy Scouts Association formed its Australian Federal Council, consisting of nominees of its Australian state branches, the Boy Scouts Association later appointed an Australian Commissioner. The Australian Federal Council functioned as a branch of The Boy Scouts Association of the United Kingdom, in 1958, The Australian Boy Scouts Association was formed and it succeeded the Australian Federal Council of The Boy Scouts Association. In 1967, The Australian Boy Scouts Association was incorporated by charter as a branch of The Scout Association of the United Kingdom. Each of the Australian state branches and the Papua New Guinea branch of The Scout Association became branches of The Australian Boy Scouts Association, in 1971, the association changed its name to The Scout Association of Australia. Until 1976, it admitted only British Subjects to membership and programs and other only on special conditions. After 1976, British subjects continued to be admitted to membership while foreign subjects, including residents were still subject to special conditions. In 1997 the organisation adopted a new logo and the trading name Scouts Australia, the Association is a founder member of the Asia-Pacific Region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. Over the years, Australian Scouts have supported emerging Scout Associations in the South Pacific, the Scout Association has a twinning project with the Nepal Scouts known as NATURE Project and involves the reforestation of the Kristi Landslide. In 1988 Australia hosted the successful 16th World Scout Jamboree and the 31st World Scout Conference, some 15,000 Scouts from 94 countries attended the Jamboree at Cataract Scout Park near Sydney. An Australian Scout Jamboree has been held three years since 1934 except for the years of the Second World War. The Scout jamboree is the largest national Scout event but there is also an Australian Rover Moot, the Council held its first meeting on 4–6 May 2001. Today, there are 25 members on the Council from all branches of Scouts Australia, the only non-youth member of the Council is the Adviser who does not have any voting rights 3. Scouts (Australia) – Scouts is the section of Scouts Australia for boys and girls aged 10.5 -15, although they can move up to the Venturer Scouts section from the age of 14.5. It follows the Cub Scout section, Scouts belong to patrols, headed by a youth leader as Patrol Leader, with an Assistant Patrol Leader. Patrols are grouped into a Scout Troop, the adult leaders or Scouters are a Scout Leader and one or more Assistant Scout Leaders. The troop is managed by the Troop Council, which consists of the Patrol Leaders advised by the Scout Leader, Scouts was the first section of the Scout Movement to be founded. Also note that the promise is made To my god, highlighting the fact that Australian scouting is multi-national and it provides activities ranging from land and sea to air. A Scout works to gain a number of badges and target badges/cords. These are ranked in order of difficulty - Pioneer which provides learning opportunities, Explorer provides showing skills and leadership, the Pioneer Badge, often the first badge undertaken towards the Australian Scout Medallion, is achieved by completing the Campcraft and Citizenship badges and one more elective target. When they complete this badge, the Scout can then participate in the Scout Leadership Course, when a Scout has achieved the Red cord, they may attend a special scouting leadership course. This, along with the Green cord and a leadership project, allows a scout to attain the Australian Scout Medallion. This can be compared to the Queens Scout badge for Venturers, the scout must also complete at least 10 hours of community service. The Scout must also be of good character, have attended a Scout leadership course and undertake a project 4. Venturer Scouts (Australia) – Venturer Scouts, formerly Senior Scouts, and commonly known simply as Venturers, is the fourth section of Scouts Australia, and was first formed in 1946. Venturers are aged between 14.5 and 18 years of age and are organised into Units, which can be a part of a single Scout Group or a stand-alone group, both types of Unit take Scouts from any Scout Group. Although not in usage, the motto of the Venturer Scout section in Australia is Look Wide. The highest award in Venturers is the Queens Scout and this award recognises people who can set their own challenging goals and achieve them. This section of Scouts Australia is about Venturers organising and running their own activities with leader support, a Venturer Unit is run by its Unit Council, usually consisting of a Unit Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and some General Members. Some larger units also include an Assistant Unit Chair, Social Secretary, Fund-raising Coordinator, Quartermaster or assistant secretaries, while the younger sections are represented by their leaders at the district level, Venturers are encouraged to attend their monthly District Venturer Council. In Australia, all scouting is divided by state into Branches and it is also a social meeting for both the Leaders and Venturers to catch up with each other. Where the district, for reason, is not appropriate for these meetings, typically due to low numbers in the District. Branch level activities are becoming more and more popular because of the difficulty in running unit level activities, Unit management is a problem for many units because of small number of attendances and difficulty in running successful activities for small groups, as well as motivation. Most Branches have a themed competitive hike run at Easter, plus many smaller activities and these often are courses required for badge work as well. There is also a unit of Venturers in each state for people that are unable to attend. This is called the Lones section, they do all work by correspondence and are still able to go to all the Ventures, camps and hikes. There is a percentage of groups that are known as Sea Scouts. These groups still practice the way as regular scouting groups. The first such group to identify as Sea Scouts, and regarded as being the first Scout group in Australia are the 1st Victorian Sea Scout Group which was founded in Albert Park, Victoria in 1907. Queens Scout is about extending their commitment and achievement in a variety of areas. One of the key points is that the levels are peer reviewed and this would go on the uniform of the Venturer. The Queen Scout can be coupled with The Duke of Edinburghs Award, Venturers also have the opportunity to participate in a Venture, the Venturing equivalent of a Jamboree 5. Rovers (Australia) – Rover Scouts began in 1918, and are based on founder BadenPowells book Rovering to Success and the theme of knighthood. The Rover Scout Section is organised from a National level down, the larger states are split into Regions, which in turn are made up of Crews. Victoria has the largest Rover Scout population, with around 1,200 Rovers, unlike the other sections of Scouts Australia, Rover Scouts are self-governing with Rovers under 25 becoming the leaders while still taking part in the program. A Rover Crew is run by its members and led by an elected committee, the committee normally consists of a Crew Leader, Deputy Crew Leader, Secretary and Treasurer but large Crews may also add a Fundraiser, a Quartermaster and other roles. Rover Scouts are young adults and make their own decisions but sometimes Crews wish to have input from people over the age of 25 and these people are selected by the Crew because of their previous experience, both in Scouting and in life. While allowing District Rover Scout Forums in some states, the step in the Rover Scout government ladder is the Region Rover Council. These bodies run Rovering in their areas and are typically based on the same Regions as the other sections of the Scouting Movement. These Regions can also run various Branch events on behalf of the Branch, not all states have Region Rover Councils, with Crews in the smaller states reporting directly to their Branch Rover Council. The Branch Rover Council is formed by representatives from each of the Region Rover Councils or directly from Crews, Branch Rover Councils also have a number of sub-committees which organise various parts of Rovering life. The Australian National Rover Council, is the body that governs Rovering at a National Level and it oversees the running of Rovering conducted at a Branch level, and designs policy to affect Rovering as a whole in Australia. This team works together to develop a plan and then implement this over the course of their elected year. They also liaise with the Branch Rover Council Chairmen and the Branch Commissioners for Rovers in each state to them with any issues. The 2014–2015 National Rover Council Chairman is Mr Ryan Beeby The NRC meet at the The National Rover Council Meeting held annually usually held in January following the event for the year. The conference usually runs over three days and incorporates State/Territory reports, discussions and workshops as well as networking activities. It is also an opportunity for States to put forward papers, plans and it is also when the elections for the years executive take place. Rovers run an Australian Rover Moot every three years which is open to Rover Scouts and Senior Scouts from around the world over the age of 18, the most recent Australian Rover Moot was held in Perth, Western Australia in January 2014. The next Australian Rover Moot will be held in Victoria in December 2016/January 2017, planning is underway for activities and celebrations to mark the centenary of the Rover section, which takes place in 2018. The National Rover Service Award is Scouts Australias Adult Recognition Award presented for a contribution to the Rover Section over a sustained period 6. Queen's Scout – A Queens Scout is a Scout who has attained the Queens Scout Award. Whether the award recipient is a Queens or Kings Scout depends on who is the current Monarch of the Commonwealth realms, initially the award required demonstrated proficiency in standardised Scoutcraft and skills useful for service to others and the nation.

The BSG serves 2,886,460 Scouts and 1,286,161 Guides, Scouting was officially founded in British India in 1909, first starting at the Bishop Cotton Boys School in Bangalore. Scouting for native Indians was started by Justice Vivian Bose, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, Pandit Hridayanath Kunzru, Girija Shankar Bajpai, Annie Besant and George Arundale, prior to this date, Scouting was open only for British and foreign Scouts. In 1916, a Cub section was started, followed by the Rover section in 1918, in 1916, Calcuttas Senior Deputy Commissioner of Police J. S. Wilson introduced Scouting for Boys as a textbook in the Calcutta Police Training School. Colonel Wilson volunteered his services to the District Scout Commissioner, Alfred Pickford, shortly Wilson was acting as Cubmaster and Scoutmaster, and succeeded Pickford as District Commissioner in May 1919 when Pickford was promoted to Chief Scout Commissioner for India. As a way of getting around the Government Order, the Boy Scouts of Bengal was founded, with identical aims, lord and Lady Baden-Powell arrived in Bombay in late January 1921 for a short tour of the subcontinent before leaving Calcutta for Rangoon. Alfred Pickford accompanied them and became one of their closest friends, the result of this visit was a union of all of the Scout organizations except the Seva Samiti Scout Association into The Boy Scouts Association in India. In 1938, a number of left the Boy Scouts Association in India after a wave of nationalism. In the same year, the Boy Scouts Association in India became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, the first Girl Guides company was founded in Jabalpur in 1911. These companies formed the All India Girl Guides Association in 1916, in the same year the organisation opened for Indian girls. J. S. Wilson provided transportation for Girl Guide rallies, the girls themselves were never quite sure whether they preferred to ride in police vans or in the riot truck. The former concealed them from view, but were very hot, the latter, being cages of expanded metal, were cooler. In 1928, the All India Girl Guides Association joined the World Association of Girl Guides and this membership was renewed in 1948 after the independence of India and its partition. A first success was the merger of the The Boy Scouts Association in India, about a year later, on 15 August 1951, the All India Girl Guides Association joined this new organisation. In 1959, the 17th World Scout Conference in New Delhi was hosted by the BSG, the Sangam World Girl Guide/Girl Scout Center in Pune, Maharashtra, India, opened in 1966. The idea for this fourth world centre dates back to 1956 when it was developed during a WAGGGS International commissioners meeting in New Delhi 20. Ranks in Gerakan Pramuka Indonesia – The rank insignia system of the Indonesian Scouting movement Gerakan Pramuka is by and large militarized in traditions and outfit. Much is left to the traditions of specific groups, some of them do not grant some of the ranks to its members, while others name them differently, the very look of the insignia may differ from group to group. Tanda Kecakapan Khusus are merit badge awards earned by members of the Gerakan Pramuka organization. Some special TKK are also required in order to achieve the Eagle Scout award, members who have earned more than five merit badges display them on a sash which may be optionally worn diagonally across the front of the Boy Scout uniform from right side to left side. Sashes are usually worn for ceremonial occasions. The image of TKK represents the subject of interest, the pictures are standard from the National Council. For Cub Scout level there is one level of TKK. Group 1 Background Color, Yellow Area of Interest, Religion Group 2 Background Color, Blue Area of Interest, Social Service, Peace campaign, Group 3 Background color, Green Area of Interest, Special Abilities, Hobbies, Survival abilities. Group 4 Background color, White Area of Interest, Physical Abilities Group 5 Background Color, Red Area of Interest, Culture, Housekeeping, Music, calon Bantara is a transition level between Boy Scout and Rover Scout. In this level, a member learns the basics of Penegak level, Penegak Bantara is the first official level after a member obtains their orientation and transition from Penggalang to Penegak. Bantara level can be obtained after completing the basic skills for Penegak or Rover level in SKU. The shoulder loop for Bantara is almost the same as the Penegak Laksana, the difference is the word BANTARA written on it. The official welcome ceremony for a new Bantara, often called Upacara Adat Ambalan involves a senior and instructor holding a campout for two nights, during this campout the cadet will be inducted as a Bantara. Penegak Laksana is a level after Penegak Bantara in Penegak age group, a Scout can earn this level after they fulfill requirements from the Penegak/Rover Handbook. One can be identified as Penegak Laksana by the shoulder loop on his/her uniform. The difference between the Bantara and Laksana shoulder loop is the word written on it, the color and sign is the same between Bantara and Laksana. Pramuka Garuda is the highest rank in each age group for Scouts in Gerakan Pramuka for those Scouts who can fulfill the qualifications, Garuda Scouts are expected to set an example for other Scouts. They are expected to become the leaders in life that they have demonstrated themselves to be in Scouting, Garuda is a mythical bird in many Asian countries 21. Gerakan Pramuka – Gerakan Pramuka Indonesia is the national Scouting organization of Indonesia. Scouting was founded in the Dutch East Indies in 1912, and it has 17,103,793 members, making it the worlds largest Scout association. Each year August 14 is celebrated as Pramuka Day to honor the organizations first public parade, the name Pramuka was derived from the acronym of Praja muda karana, Sanskrit meaning young people willing to work. Scouting came to Indonesia in 1912, as a branch of the Nederlandse Padvinders Organisatie, after 1916 it was called the Nederland Indische Padvinders Vereeniging. Other Scouting organizations were established by the Indonesia Scouts in 1916, as the Dutch East Indies, Indonesia had been a branch of the Netherlands Scout Association, yet Scouting was very popular, and had achieved great numbers and standards. When Indonesia became an independent country, there were more than 60 separate Boy Scout, most were directly affiliated with some certain political parties or social groups. Attempts were made to unify all Scout organizations into one, in September 1951 thirteen of the stronger Scout and Guide organizations nationwide met and decided to found a federating body to satisfy national and international needs. Ikatan Pandu Indonesia came into being, government approval of Ipindo was granted on February 22,1952, and President Sukarno consented to become patron of the unifying and correlating National Scout Council. Indonesia has been a member of WOSM since 1953, in May 1961, the then President of Indonesia, Sukarno, signed a presidential regulation making Gerakan Pramuka the official Scout and Guide organization in Indonesia. Gerakan Pramuka is a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, having left WAGGGS. The Indonesia Scout Movement incorporates both boys and girls and it is an educational movement through Scouting activities, the education being directed toward a new, just, peaceful and prosperous Indonesian community based on the national ideology. Activities of the boys and girls are conducted separately from one another and they have joint activities whenever possible and necessary. Management of the Scout Movement is carried out by the National Headquarters, education for young members is carried out through activities to achieve General Skill Requirements and Special Skill Requirements towards achieving Garuda Scout. To achieve the goals of Scouting, activities are carried out on the group, routine activities are focused on the development of character, patriotism, physical fitness, skill and intelligence of the Scouts themselves which are very important for their future life. The Scouts take a part in community development service projects. They take a part in combating illiteracy. The success of the campaign against illiteracy in one province, gained the Scouts worldwide recognition and won them a UNESCO award, the Scouts also participate in the drive to improve health and nutrition in the community, especially children under five years of age. Acting as extension workers, they practice how to raise cattle, fish, breed hens, the seed form represents the growing spirit, physical toughness, adaptability, and high aspiration of the Scout 22. Scouting Ireland – Scouting Ireland is a voluntary, non-formal educational movement for young people. Of the 750,000 people between the ages of 6 and 18 in Ireland, approximately 6% are involved in Scouting Ireland. The organisation was founded on 21 June 2003, after a merger between Scouting Ireland C. S. I. and Scouting Ireland S. A. I and its headquarters are at Larch Hill, County Dublin. The association is headed by the Chief Scout, currently Christy McCann, supported by the National Management Committee and Chief Executive Officer, the former traces its roots to 1908, and the latter was founded in 1927 – both trace their legacy to Lord Baden-Powells Scout Movement. By 1908, the influence of Baden-Powells Scout Movement had spread from Great Britain to Ireland, the earliest known Scouting event in Ireland took place in the Phoenix Park in 1908 with members of the Dublin City Boy Scouts taking part. Because of the impacts to available adult leadership, the coming of the Great War in 1914 could have affected the viability of Scouting in Ireland, however, patrol leader members took over much of the leadership activities when adult leaders volunteered for active military duty. Scouts contributed to the war effort in several ways, notably the Sea Scouts, in Dublin in the 1920s, two Roman Catholic priests, Fathers Tom and Ernest Farrell, followed the progress of Scouting. They noted that in countries, the Catholic Church had taken up the idea of Scouting as a means of imprinting a Catholic ethos on young people. After some study and experimentation, they made a proposal to the Catholic Hierarchy of Ireland and were granted a constitution, thus, the Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland was created. CBSI would later become the largest Scout association on the island, when war came again in 1939, Scouts carried on under the direction of their patrol leaders, and undertook service tasks. Including acting as messengers, fire watchers, stretcher bearers, salvage collectors, in 1965, CBSI joined with SAI to form the Federation of Irish Scout Associations, FISA. Through FISA, Irish Scouts were able to play a part in international Scouting. Prior to this, because the World Organisation of the Scout Movement traditionally recognises only one Scouting body in each country, although aligned through FISA, these two separate Scouting organisations operated as separate entities through the latter half of the 20th century. Then, on 1 January 2004, the two organisations were merged to form Scouting Ireland and this followed votes in May 2003, when both associations agreed to join together to form a new single association. This in turn had followed from decisions in 1998 to set this process in motion, local volunteers working in Scout Groups and Scout Counties and also various national teams are supported by a centralised full-time staff, who support the day-to-day running of the association. Scouting Ireland offers a programme for youth members ages between 6 and 25 years, Sea Scouting operates throughout the sections consistent with the above age ranges. The National Management Committee can decide on variations to the Section names for use with a specific Symbolic Framework adopted by a Scout Group Council, the basic unit of Scouting in Ireland is the Scout Group. Each Group is based around a single meeting point, but may have a number of sections, meeting at different times, the Group is coordinated by the Group Council, headed up by the Group Leader 23. Beaver Scouts (Scouting Ireland) – Beaver Scouts are the youngest age group in Scouting Ireland and are boys and girls aged between 6 and 8 years of age. The personal progressive scheme is broken down into three stages Bree Ruairc and Conn, Adventure skills, Special Interest Badges and the Chief Scout Award also form part of the progress scheme, a group of Beavers is called a Beaver Scout Colony. The colony is run by a team of Programme Scouters and often Venture Scouts, the beaver colony operates a very loose form of the Patrol System, in accordance with the Scout method, whereby Beavers are divided into small groups called lodges. The head beaver in a lodge is known as a leader who is helped by an asst lodge leader. These positions are changed frequently within the lodge 24. Cub Scouts (Scouting Ireland) – Cub Scouts or Macaoimh is the name given to youth members Scouting Ireland and previously Scouting Ireland, of the Cub Scout age group. The terms Macaoimh and Cub are often co-existent though Macaoimh represents a different tradition, both boys and girls participate in the Cub Scout programme though some Scout Groups accept boys only. Its membership is the largest of the four Scouting Ireland Sections, the Cub Scout programme is part of the worldwide Scouting movement and aims to develop the youth member using the SPICE program - Social, Physical, Intellectual, Character, Emotional and Spiritual. Cub Scouts are arranged into Sixes, Cub Scouts range from 9 to 11 years of age, the Cub Scout adventure is full of fun and exploration. We are all about finding out new things and new ways of having fun. We learn to become more responsible because we want to do things like go on longer camps. Cub Scouts are organised into groups called Sixes and guess what. The Sixes are collected together in what we call a Pack, the Six has one of the Cub Scouts as their leader and that person is called the Sixer. The Sixers meet and talk about things that the Cub Scouts would like to do, Cub Scouts are given more responsibility and more say in the running of the programme and as a result can do more. Responsibility is the key to helping the Cub Scout grow as it teaches them to look after themselves and they spend more time working in small groups and making decisions as a team. Each Six has a leader and assistant leader, every Cub Scout should have a job to do in the Six and they should be given more responsible jobs as they progress. The Sixer’s Council should meet periodically to chat about bigger issues or topics, Scouters should ensure that each Cub Scout is given the chance to take on additional responsibility as they develop and the chance to act as the leader of a small group on a regular basis. Getting out into Nature is what Cub Scouting is all about, there is so much to explore in nature and the Cub Scout Programme will help the Cub Scout what to look out for. You can see Cub Scouts in action on Jamóige – which is a Giant camp for Cub Scouts, national Cub Scouting days as well as Pack Holidays also are typical activities for a Cub Scout to go on. The small groups have a clearly defined leadership system and the emphasis is certainly on learning by doing, the personal progressive scheme takes the form of badges which use a certain number of stages to determine how far along in the programme the Cub Scout is. The three stages are Turas, Taisteal and Tagann, the Aim of Scouting is to develop young people Socially, Physically, Intellectually, Character, Emotionally, Spiritually. These elements are called the SPICES and are integrated into the programme experience via the Scout Method, Personal Progress Awards. The Programme, that the people have designed with the help and assistance of Scouters follows a simple process, PLAN, DO 25. Scouts (Scouting Ireland) – Scouts in Scouting Ireland are aged between 11 and a half to 16 years of age. Each group has a Court of Honour/Patrol Leaders Council which under the guidance of an adult Scouter designs, the association also currently has Sea Scout and Air Scout programmes. The highest award is the Chief Scout Award Until a new programme is introduced, some other troops continue to use the programme of Scouting Ireland S. A. I. which includes the Attainment badge scheme. In the former CSI programme, in addition to merit badges, the first award is the Tracker Award. It is completed before a Scout is invested and it requires Scouts to have a basic knowledge of Scoutcraft, show a commitment to their patrol and troop and to understand certain aspects of Scouting. The tracker award badge is the first badge a Scout can earn, after this Scouts can continue the award scheme. The next step is the Explorer Award and this award is considered the standard of Scouting skills. Most of the requirements can be completed during patrol/troop activities, the Court of Honour decides if the Scout deserves the award. The explorer award is a red diamond with a compass on it, the third part is the star Scout award. It is usually presented in a ceremony, the fourth part is the National Scout Award. To take part a Scout needs to apply to National Office, the NSA is always presented in a ceremony. The four badges combined to make a diamond as illustrated. The final part is the Chief Scout Award which is considered the highest honour a Scout can get, theres also the Leadership award which tests the leadership ability of the Scouts. This is often earned as part of a PL training course, Scouts are divided up in patrols and troops. 6-8 Scouts make up a patrol, the patrol is the main unit of the Scout programme and most activities are done in the patrol. The patrol is led by an older Scout known as a patrol leader and he is helped by an assistant patrol leader. All other members of the patrol are given jobs, the patrol system encourages teamwork and youth leadership. A standard troop is made up of 20-32 Scouts under the leadership of a group of Adult Scouters, the PLs come together in Court of Honour/Patrol Leaders Council to help the Scouters run the troop 26. Venture Scouts (Scouting Ireland) – Venture Scouts in Scouting Ireland are aged between 15 and 17 years of age. The awards scheme of Venture Scouts is called Rogha, an Irish word meaning Choice, although many groups use Gaisce, the Presidents Award, as part of their programme also. Each group has a Venture Scout Executive which, under the guidance of an adult Scouter, designs, a National Venture Forum Committee represents Venture Scouts on national administrative bodies - in line with the associations Youth Participation Policy. The NVFC meet to discuss matters of importance to Venture Scouts, as members of the Venturing section are the eldest in the association, the onus is on the youth members to plan, organise and participate in events. Lead Scouters only act in an advisory capacity, the Scout method drives the programme. Most Groups meet on a basis, though some meet less frequently. Common activities include hiking, rockclimbing, mountaineering and Scout skills like camping and
