Youth experience in the outdoor provides the canvas for personal growth. To most, the outdoors is a foreign environment. Through outdoor adventures youth develop confidence, leadership and advance their personal faith. Each Scout should attend a council summer camp. This will be a highlight in a Scout’s year. Dale Peterson works to ensure that every unit is promoting and signing up the boys to attend camp each year. He his happy to attend a meeting and explain the merits of camp. |

One of the key methods of personal growth Scouting offers is providing an opportunity for boys to advance in rank. The teaches personal responsibility and goal setting. Recognition for the achievements also leads to self confidence. At times it may be confusing how to evaluate the requirements or leaders run into special situations that require advice. Paul Grun is the Wapiti District Advancement Chairman and also supports the Eagle process and Merit Badge counselors. |
