Program Feature: PIONEERING

Outdoor Fun that is Timeless!

Like always, the majority of today’s Scouts love the kind of woodsy activities that provide outdoor fun that’s involving and challenging. This kind of fun is timeless! To build a good pioneering project requires rope, wood, good sense, and skill. When successfully completed, there’s a happy feeling of accomplishment. As Baden-Powell said, “Pioneering is practical and character building: the two essential ingredients of any program material for Scouts.”

Pioneering is all about using basic and advanced Scout skills to get things done, to make life in the outdoors easier, and for having just plain ol’ fashioned good times.
