Leadership Development Aims—Why We Teach
The content of the eleven competencies in our diagram
of the program aims, methods and content is not fixed in concrete. As
our assessment efforts indicate a need for change in the curriculum,
the content and the manner in which these competencies are presented
is amended.
The methods of White Stag incorporate those of Scouting:
a personal code of conduct based on the ideals expressed in the Girl and
Boy Scout Oath, Promise and Law; the Patrol Method; the outdoor program;
advancement (in outdoor skills and knowledge of leadership); positive
adult and peer role models; uniforming; adventure; competition; and cooperation.
These aims and methods do not mean that the program is
geared for Scouts or Explorers only. It is not. The leadership curriculum
is generic and applicable in all arenas. The program outline following
identifies for each of the components identified above:
- What each is.
- Why each is a part of the program.
- Provides examples of how each is applied within the White Stag Leadership Development ProgramTM .
The aims are the focus or result of the methodologies.
These should be the result of the program. In other words, it is our aim
to promote the positive development of individual character, attributes
of citizenship, and emotional fitness: i.e., leadership.
