Character Development

Make the Explorer Code and the Scout Oath and Law the practical guide in camp life. Recognize the character-building nature of all outdoor and campcraft skills. Recognize that the best way to train is through example given by leaders. Impart the knowledge of evaluating behavior based on these moral codes and use them, when appropriate, as the standard for behavior when counselling.

Scouting skills and outdoor crafts are efficient ways to develop good character. The Patrol Leader must be aware of his role in character formation of members of his patrol. She should be the example others will emulate.

All camp rules must be based on these standards, applying it in every possible and convincing way. Consciously develop certain character traits in patrols and individual learners.
