Exploring is a program developed by the Boy Scouts expertise and the program
resources of the chartered organization.
To achieve the mission and purpose of exploring, the program is designed to meet
the developmental needs association with responsible, caring adult advisors. They
learn ethical decision making through positive social interaction, leadership
development, hands-on experience, refining problem solving skills, service to
others, and career exploration.
This program offers many opportunities used to promote the conditions that are
necessary for growth and development of adolescents. For example, there are
planned activities to give youth in a post the opportunity to interact with their peers
and to experience a sense of belonging. Planning the year's program of activities and
individual acitivities should involve explorers in decision making. Engaging in
activities that are challenging and fun encourages them to cultivate a capacity to
enjoy life. By participating in the activities and the operation of an explorer post,
youth will have a chance to discover more about their identity, to relate to adults and
peers, and to experiment with ideas and roles without having to commit themselves
irrevocably.
