1ST LINDSAY BPSA
Scouting the way Lord Baden Powell intended
We are part of a Traditional Scouting Association, as such, we follow the original teachings of the Founder of Scouting, modernized only for health and safety reasons. We believe that his vision for teaching youth to be better citizens for tomorrow through the outdoors and youth leadership is as applicable today as it was when he wrote the programs.
TIMBER WOLVES
"A week of camp life is worth six months of theoretical teaching in the meeting room."
Timber Wolves
Boys and girls may join this section between the ages of 8 and 10.
Their motto is "Do Your Best".
Timber Wolves join in many games and practical activities based on the Jungle Book as written by B-P's friend Rudyard Kipling. Much of their learning is 'by doing'. The program is based on the "Tenderpad to Second Star" manual and focuses more on outdoor activities. "New Chums" join and are invested becoming Tenderpads. They progress then from First Star to Second Star with the highest award being the Leaping Wolf Badge.
EXPLORERS
Boys and girls may be members between ages 11 - 15. Their motto is "Be Prepared".
The emphasis is by learning through hands on training in outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, canoeing and backpacking. The Explorer Troop operates in Patrols of 6 to 8 members led by a Patrol Leader who shares responsibility with an adult leader for discipline, activity planning and training the less experienced members.
