From Monday 16th November 2009, as part of The Scout Association's development of one fully integrated website for Members, the information on this page is no longer being maintained.
The Programme Zones
Programme Zones split the whole programme into manageable areas. Each Zone represents a different development area in a young person's life. It is recommended that a troop spend roughly 50% of its programme time working within the Outdoor and Adventure Zone.
Suggestions on using the Zones and Methods in the Programme can be found in The Troop Programme and The Troop Programme Plus.
Beliefs and Attitudes
This Zone provides opportunities to explore and develop Scouting values, personal attitudes and a range of beliefs.
Community
This Zone helps Scouts explore the community in which they live, discovering local people, places and facilities. It also gives them the opportunity to offer help and service.
Fit for Life
This Zone focuses on activities to improve fitness, promote personal health and increase awareness of personal safety. It should provide young people with the opportunities to participate in a variety of games and to improve their skills in a range of physical pursuits.
Creative Expression
This Zone provides opportunities for young people to display their creativity through art, music, drama, design, worship and leadership.
Global
This Zone helps Scouts to discover the similarities and differences in lifestyle, cultures and environments, both locally and from around the world. It helps them make a difference.
Outdoor and Adventure
In this, the largest Zone, you will find all the activities connected with camping and the great outdoors. This Zone is full of opportunities to learn not just the traditional Scouting skills associated with hiking and camping, but also those needed for adventurous activities such as climbing, caving, canoeing and sailing.
