Science and Scouting

 

In looking at one the main skills learnt in scouting, the ability to work in small groups productively, solving problems is a key one that has practical application for things such as working in the sciences later on in life as that is often how teams work being neither large scale nor of individuals as much as they contribute to the whole.

It isn't so surprising then to read of the number of scouts who got involved in and have been part of scientific research and why it is many organizations connected to contribute to scouting sponsoring awards in areas such as computer coding and website building or the RAF supporting the staged Activities Staged Badge helping to build life skills for children and young people.

It's why we marked Science Week on March 10th with activities for all.
