Exploring |
| Exploring
is a program developed by the Boy Scouts of America
for young men and women, age 14 thru 20. The program
matches the interests of youth with adult expertise
and the program resources of the chartered organization.
|
To
achieve the mission and purpose of exploring,
the program is designed to meet the developmental
needs of young adults by bringing them into
voluntary association with responsible, caring
adult advisors. They learn ethical decision
making through positive social interaction,
leadership development, hands-on experience,
refining problem solving skills, service to
others, and career exploration.

This
program offers many opportunities used to promote
the conditions that are necessary for growth and
development of adolescents. For example, there
are planned activities to give youth in a post
the opportunity to interact with their peers and
to experience a sense of belonging. Planning the
year's program of activities and individual acitivities
should involve explorers in decision making. Engaging
in activities that are challenging and fun encourages
them to cultivate a capacity to enjoy life. By
participating in the activities and the operation
of an explorer post, youth will have a chance
to discover more about their identity, to relate
to adults and peers, and to experiment with ideas
and roles without having to commit themselves
irrevocably. |

12 active members and 6 adult advisors. The group
meets twice a month and attends numerous outings
and special training. In 2002 David Spraggins obtained
all qualifications to become an explorer II |
