What does a Scout do in camping?

The function of scouts is to develop young people physically mentally and spiritually so that they may play a constructive role in society. Scouts learn skills such as self-discipline and leadership and also gain an appreciation of the outdoors. The primary objectives of scouting are as follows:

• To encourage the physical mental and spiritual development of young people.
• To train them in the responsible citizenship character development and self-reliance.
• To help them develop an appreciation of the outdoors.
• To teach them the importance of helping others.

Scouts also have a responsibility to serve the community. This can be done through community service projects such as collecting food clothing and other supplies for those in need or helping to clean up parks and public spaces. Scout leaders also help to teach scouts about the importance of civic involvement and inspiring them to take an active role in their communities.
