Values As Scouts we are guided by these values: Integrity We act with integrity; we are honest, trustworthy and loyal. Respect We have self-respect and respect for others. Care We support others and take care of the world in which we live. Belief We explore our faiths, beliefs and attitudes. Cooperation We make a positive difference; we cooperate with others and make friends.

Method • Scouting takes place when young people, in partnership with adults, work together based on the values of Scouting and: • ·                enjoy what they are doing and have fun; • ·                take part in activities indoors and outdoors; • ·                learn by doing; • ·                share in spiritual reflection; • ·                take responsibility and make choices; • ·                undertake new and challenging activities; and • ·                make and live by their Promise.
