Parenting has certainly become a tough assignment in this day and age and the result is evident in the kind of youth we have in today’s society. In school where corporal punishment was long banned, there are eased indiscipline cases and children brought up in the era of technology are proving a bit difficult to bring up. Well, scouting will remain one of the best ways to model your child both physically and psychologically. It is the lowest level of ‘disciplined forces’ and the first encounter with basic training in handling different situations. Scouting is fun with a purpose, directing, helping boys and girls become happy, healthy, useful citizens. It complements the education, family, filling needs not met by either. It also develops self-knowledge and the need to explore, to discover, the world beyond the classroom, tapping the skills of others to learn and to become well-rounded people. Your child has a chance to develop physically, intellectually, socially, and spiritually while building confidence and self-esteem within; learning important life skills and leadership skills, team building, outdoor adventure, education, and much fun. It is even much better when your child joins scouting at the earliest level in school where they cultivate Scouting’s Principles that describe a simple code of living to which all Scouts make a personal commitment through the Scout Promise and Law. The child also develops skills to care for the environment and adds to his /her skills toolbox some positive reinforcement and constructive discipline, a toolbox they need for the rest of their lives. By joining the movement, the child becomes a member of the Kenya Scouts Association which is a values-based youth development organization that helps young people learn positive attributes of character, citizenship, and personal fitness. All members of the Kenya Scouts Association are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the principles set forth in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Physical violence, hazing, bullying, theft, verbal insults, and drugs and alcohol have no place in the Scouting program and may result in the revocation of a Scout’s membership in the unit. If confronted by threats of violence or other forms of bullying from other youth members, Scouts are trained to seek help from their unit leaders or parents. This discipline is key in the growth of any child in today’s society with lots of other guidance contained in the Scoutmaster Handbook.
