The activities are the most visible part of the Program;
they represent what young people do in Scouting
Baden Powell
An activity is a set of experiences that
provides each young person the opportunity to acquire
knowledge, skills, and attitudes that lead him/her to
achieve one or more established educational objectives (RAP, WOSM)

4. Project Methodology Phases
Enrichment
Done in the first analysis by the leaders
• The valuation of the activity as a whole
n What aspects should be reinforced in the project?
n What other objectives can be included?
n Which operational aspects deserve special attention?
• The appreciation of the proposed objectives
n What specific objectives are to be achieved (e.g., evaluation)
n What activities can be suggested to be added?
• The impregnation in the activity of scouting values
n What educational dimensions do we want to work on with the actions?
n Where are the elements of the Scouting Method present?
• The exploration in the activity to the possible limit of
individual progress
n What "evidence" can be worked on?

Phase 3: Realization
Scouting Identity – Project Methodology
4. Phases of the Project Methodology
Phase 4: Evaluation
n It is the phase of 'extracting the juice' from what has been lived.
n Made by the Group and Patrols
n Use creative and appropriate means (this is not an exam)
n Two essential components:
Operational aspects (how did it go?)
Educational aspects (what was acquired?)
n Acknowledge the progress made (connection with the celebration):
progress stages, competency badges...
n What clues remain for the future? (next project?)
Scouting Identity - Project Methodology
5. Role of the Leader
n Establish and maintain a partnership based on trust
n Provide guidance to ensure that the project is
concretable
n Incorporate learning opportunities
n Ensure educational progress for every young person
n Ensure that the different elements of the Method
Scout will be present (particularly the values
expressed in the Law
n Taking care of motivation and offering support
n Alert about one or another operational aspect or about the
timings
n Help to take the 'lessons' from what is good and bad
it happened

6. Loose notes
n A Unit does not need to work with the Methodology of
Project throughout the year; it can be interspersed with a
activity program - foresee in an Annual Plan
Section
n The duration and complexity of the project depend a lot.
of the maturity of the Unit and of the greater or lesser ease to
work this way
n What the Patrols present as proposals to the Group
it should not be a "finished" and scheduled project; it should
outline the main points of what they consider to be a
an enticing project to be experienced by all
n In the Choice of a Project, the 'Russian salad' solution (for
pleasing everyone) is usually a poor solution; the
consensus must be sought (about the ideas that are
behind the visible)
