Quote from a Beaver Scout, March 2012

One of the most powerful ways to understand adventure is through sharing stories from our Members and supporters.

‘This year we went to see a coastguard helicopter. All the Beavers got to go inside and we all had great fun. I wanted to fly it, but they wouldn’t let me - not yet!’
Philip, 7, Beaver Scout

Aptitude and Attitude

We are all different. We have different aptitudes and attitudes. Aptitude is a natural ability or talent, one’s capacity to learn. Attitude is a mood or a state of mind shown by actions and words.
As Scouts we must respect each other’s aptitudes. We must be patient, whether we are teaching or being taught. Our attitude toward what we are doing reflects what we are. If you have a good attitude, your aptitude will improve.
