Traditional Scouting - Differences

Differences

There are several differences between modern Scouting and the Traditional Scouting movement:

  • Scouting games, Patrol totems and calls, and advancement are based on standards rather than competition.
  • Advancement is based strictly on the mastery of Scoutcraft skills and Proficiency Badges: There are no Scout spirit, Scoutmaster conference, or Board of Review requirements. Traditional Scouting is analogous to a game played to teach Citizenship strictly through indirect methods.
  • Following Baden-Powell's advice, all leaders are volunteers, no one gets paid
  • The inexpensive uniform is designed to be used as an outdoor method, rather than as expensive indoor clothing for "formal occasions." The Uniform should be a joy to wear in the wilderness.

Famous quotes containing the word differences:

    “I don’t know what immutable differences exist between men and women apart from differences in their genitals; perhaps there are some other unchangeable differences; probably there are a number of irrelevant differences. But it is clear that until social expectations for men and women are equal, until we provide equal respect for both men and women, our answers to this question will simply reflect our prejudices.”
    —Naomi Weisstein (b. 1939)
