Scouts make kids ready... Ready for life!

hi from the scouts in australia. this is what makes me proud to be a scout

im 11 years old and im a scout in greece im proud

I have been a Scouter for 25 years and you young lady make me proud to wear the uniform. A hearty left hand to you! Happy camping and good Scouting!

I have only been with the movement only 17 tears .... feel so privilege to part of this World Wide Movement.

Cubmaster 2yrs here. I get great joy teaching ALL kids some outdoor/ life skills, especially when they try, try, try yet again, then FINALLY understand something. This lady says it so well

to me the scouts is home, I've always been bullied at school, but when I came to the scouts it felt like I had a save space where I could be myself. I've been a scout since I was 4 and I plan to stay until I'm no longer able to. When I tell people I'm a scout I get all kind of reactions, not always positive, but It doesn't matter, because those who do make mean remarks are the most clueless to what we do and also the peole who always enjoy themselves if they come along. To me scouts are family!

I'm a scout from South Africa, it's amazing to see the difference between what I know scouting to be and what it's like in the rest of the world.

Well done. The talk not only represents perfectly who and what we are but it also allows others to get a better view of how we make it hapen. I am a scout as well and what I leart till now and the memories I have will probably be the best in my life.

What an awesome adult! Well done from an Aussie Scout Leader! BRAVO!

Scout and Proud!!! 1913-2013! 100 years of CYPRUS SCOUTING...

I am not only Proud for being a Scout for more than 15 years now, I am also Proud for how you managed to express lifetime experiences in 6 minutes!

been a scout for 10 years. Semel scout, semper scout

Dear Signe, I just want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!! You've put in words... perfect words... exactly how I feel and what it means to me to BE A SCOUT!!! Tomorrow I'm giving a little lecture on our council's TTT course, and I just hope I can be as elocuent and well spoken as you are on this video... Thank you again...... =)

Sempre Alerta! Eh um orgulho ser escoteiro...

I was in scouts my whole upbringing and can’t remember one single thing about the leaders. Just recall we went camping, had fun singing, earned badges which was fun. Can’t remember anything else.

Congratulation! From Hungary.

Emil Trautner Member of FDF k7 and was a member of scoutingvereniging Sint Maarten-Hildegard Voorburg All scouts stand together no matter what class, type, race, religion, or political views..... can any one else beat that? Power to the scouts

I'm also a Scout Leader, I work with Cubs aged 71/2 - 10. Very hard to put into words. I want to help bring community back and Scouts shows children the basis of building a happy, healthy community.

Anyone else a scout 😀👋

Scouts is the best thing that ever happened to me. ALWAYS READY!!!!

Welldone Signe... In a few words (from the heart) you explained why someone should be a Scout Leader...

Excellent! Thanks, I am a Scout too with 24 children (and am 43).

I will share this at our training session, the "RoundTable" Ms Bjorg is to be congratulated for her service to our children. Even one boy helped is better than no boys (or girls.... look at that Patrol on the stage!) helped, yes? As to the negative comments below, yes, there are poor Scout programs. It does depend on the quality and training of the Adult Scouter. Yes, there are "other" Scout organizations. That does not demean their quality or effectiveness. Yes, there are Adult Scout Leaders who betray the trust of their responsibility to their Scouts. They should be found out and eliminated and brought to trial, as appropriate. The BSA has many safe guards and training in place but sometimes the "bad apples" do slip thru, and sometimes the training and standards are ignored. That said, as John Muir said, "The mountains are calling and I must go." Good Scouting to you all!

Scouts are awesome, especially Australian ones!

great talk!! thanks a lot!!

True story! I've been a scout since the spring of 2006. I'm a scout, I've been on my scout"kår"s (Don't know the english word) camps every year, the 22nd World scout Jamboree I was there and Boomerang 2012. And i don't regret one single thing!

I have authored three books containing merit badge requirements. These books will assist the scout and merit badge counselor to achieve the desired merit badge. The books can be obtained on amazon or at the local library. They are WEATHER by Jack Fleming, GEOLOGY by Jack Fleming, and BEACHES (for the Oceanography badge) by Jack Fleming.

Amazing!

To be a Scout or to not be a Scout? What a horrid question! Of course, be a Scout. Siempre Listos! Be Prepared!

Emocionante

Thank you.

I’m a Swedish scout from Sweden🇸🇪

Awesome!

Become a scout, no matter what!

Well done! :)

That's why I am a Scout!!!

Sea scout from Nigeria

This happens in guiding too. I think unique people are found in this movement,thanks to Lord and Lady Baden Powell's fantastic guidelines and rules.

awesome children :)

I'm a scout

I have never seen a uniform with so few badges

Sry to break it for All of you, but she is not a scout she is from a Danish Foundation called FDF which in their own opinion says they Are not scouts, and for more proof try looking at her uniform she does not have the international scout badge or the scarf around her neck. She might be saying the right tings but she is not a scout

Well....but where is her scarf

I am proud I was and my son is a scout !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I'm one of them :)

This is in fine video... But there is one major fail FDF is not a member of WOSM so there therefore they are not actual scouts but the do a lot of the same stuff like "real" scouts... I'm also a scout but a member of the Danish KFUM (YMCA) scouts who are a member of WOSM... But beside from that it's a good video that shows all the good things about being a scout it's just sad that it's told by a person who actual not are a member of a scout organisation that is a member of WOSM

the yellow scouts in denmark are not part of wosm either... and is membership of wosm really what defines a scout at heart???

Unfortunately, our scouting experience was not positive. My daughter was basically shunned by the other girls for not having the same religious affiliation and not attending the same school. In four years they didn't even have one camp out. They did stay in the leaders family cabin one night, but weren't allowed to play outside. They made smores, in the oven, which the girls weren't allowed to help with. Very disappointing.

wednesdays ;D

OK - So the already FDF-movement took inspiration from BP's "Scouting for boys" to ad outdoor activities to their already broad roster of sparetime activities. Now orchestral music and outdoors activities seeems to all that's left. The two pillars of the FDF are Christianity and Nationalism. - And while spirituallity is a part of the scout movement, it is anchored in internationalism. On several occations the ruling body of the FDF has taken up the vote, and rejected to join the scout movement. They like the activities, but neither the purpouse or the values. I do however respect both her and the FDF, and I can see how it would ease the comunication not to go into details and things getting lost in translation. Never the less: She is in fact not a scout!

true... but FDF is no more of a Nationalist movement, than the scout movement. FDF were founded 5 years before the scout movement, and therefore has its own identity to protect. FDF would throw 117 years of historical identity away, if it became a scout corp... it would gain absolutely nothing from joining the scout movement, cause of the splendid relations it has with the scout movement already.

It’s kinda sad to me that she calls them her kids and considers herself the most important person in their lives. I’ve seen this many times over the years as a teacher. It’s almost always childless women. They seem to think they are everything to the kids, but in reality just meeting for an hour a week is nothing at all. They don’t realize that their parents actually do all of the real work. Kids can act sweet for one scout meeting per week. I’m sorry, but it’s an absolute fact that the parents are completely raising the child never a teacher or coach or scout leader. Those people all can have an influence, just like all humans can have a deep and life changing influence on anyone they meet…even in one meeting or 50. That boy didn’t become a carpenter because of her, but that’s what she is saying. Just be humble. God makes them wonderful. Their parents do 99%. Be a good human to everyone always just to make the world a better place for everyone and no need to tell ourselves we are the ones that made them have a good life or “become awesome human beings”.

these weirdo's should be banned it was only last week another scout leader was imprisoned
