  1. What do children at my school think about scouting and guiding? Joe Dyson Age 10

  2. Introduction • I was interested in researching this topic because many people at my school do scouting or guiding and I do it myself. • I wanted to find out what peoples reactions were to scouting and guiding, if they enjoy it, and what they thought could be improved. • My research question is ‘What do children at my school think about scouting and guiding?’

  3. Methodology • My participants were children from year 3,4,5, and 6. • I chose these children because I thought they would be able to read a questionnaire and give me suitable answers. • I handed out at least 45 questionnaires. • I received 21 back. • To analyse my questionnaires I used tallies and coding. • For my closed questions I used tallying. • For my open questions I used coding. To do this I sorted the answers into groups which had similar themes.

  4. Ethical Issues • To make my questionnaire ethical, I asked the participants not to put their names on so they were anonymous. • To make sure the answers were confidential, I locked them in a cupboard so no-one could see them, and I didn’t talk to anyone about them. • To make sure the questionnaires were suitable for the audience, I didn’t use complicated words, and if I had to, I gave a definition.

  10. Findings question 8. • What do you enjoy about scouting and guiding? – I got 5 responses • Everything • Everything • Being able to spend time with friends • That you can take part in things • Make new friends

  11. Findings question 9. • What don’t you enjoy about scouting and guiding- I got 4 responses • I don’t know • Horrible teachers and children • I don’t mind • Girls that swear

  12. Findings question 10. • Do you have anything you wish to add about scouting and guiding? • I got 5 responses • If it was a hot summer day you could go swimming • I would like to try my mum wouldn't let me • I really like guides because you have freedom • They should look after new children better I am know in the girls brigade • I never done it before

  13. Discussion question 3. • Have you ever been in a scouting or guiding group before? • 9 children said yes • 11 children said no • None of the 10 year olds I asked said ‘yes’ • Perhaps its because they’re on the border line of scouts and cubs or brownies and guides.

  14. Discussion question 4. • If you answered ‘yes’ to question 3. which groups do you belong to? • I found out that that the most popular group was cubs this could be because this covers all of the year 3,4 class and year 5 • The least popular groups were rainbows and beavers • Perhaps because very few of the children I asked were young enough to do it.

  15. Discussion question 5. • If you answered ‘no’ to question 3, why have you not taken part? • The most common reason for not taking part is because there not interested • There were also other reasons such as to busy, not near my house, cant get there and can’t afford it.

  16. Discussion question 6. • If you could join would you? • 7 children said yes and 7 said no • This shows that 7 people want to take part but can’t for some reason

  17. Discussion question 7. • If you do scouting or guiding do you enjoy it? • 9 children do scouting and guiding and 6 of them say they enjoy it very much but only 1 person said they really don’t enjoy it • This shows that most people are very happy about scouting and guiding

  18. Discussion question 8. and 9. • Question 8, what do you enjoy about scouting and guiding? • 2 people said ‘ everything’ • 2 people mentioned spending time with friends • Question 9. what don’t you enjoy about scouting and guiding? • 2 people were unsure • 2 people disliked the other people such as teachers and children

  19. Conclusion What did I find out? • Of the people I asked, most didn’t do scouting or guiding • If they didn’t take part it was mostly because they weren’t interested, but there were other reasons too. • Most people who do scouting or guiding enjoy it a lot.

  20. Conclusion How did my project go? • I think my project was partly successful. This is because I thought some of the children could have given more precise answers to my open questions rather than just one word answers. • However I was successful in finding out what I wanted to find out If I was doing this project again • I would probably chase people up more to return the questionnaires because I didn’t get many back. • I could ask people what they would improve about scouting or guiding.
