CCA Name: Our CCA: Our weekly CCA programme is based on the Patrol system – a platform where teams of young people, consisting of Secondary 1 to 3 students, plan and execute their own variety of activities to promote an exciting and enjoyable Scouting experience. These Patrols also regularly work together on Unit level activities, such as annual camps, hikes, Pioneering and Backwoodsman cooking. This combination of activities aims to help Scouts learn and live values through working with peers of different backgrounds and engage in cross-cultural experiences to experience Group Life in an outdoor learning experience. The Scouts also have programmes at the national level, where Scouts meet Scouts from other schools and collaborate on activities, from traditional scoutcraft to sporting activities. This can manifest in annual Leadership courses, the bi-annual National Patrol Camp, to the highly popular National Jamboree where they have a chance to meet Scouts from other countries. “An individual step in character training is to put responsibility on the individual.” Baden-Powell, Founder of Scouting The Patrol system is designed to offer opportunities for character training by allowing as many chances for responsibility suited for the young person. At the Unit Level, a Scout can look forward to taking charge of smaller duties at the Patrol level such as a Patrol Quartermaster to taking on more formal roles such as:
