This interactive quiz places the participant in the shoes of a young Scout navigating their NSO’s governance structures. Through storytelling, dilemmas, and reflection points, adults will explore how systems and adult attitudes can either block or support youth involvement in decision-making.

This activity is designed for adult leaders working with children aged 10 and under. Through fun, hands-on experiences, young participants will learn where food comes from, how it is produced, and why reducing food waste matters.

Food grows in gardens and forests. It is fished from oceans and rivers. It is hunted or gathered from the land. But most of our food comes from farms. Some are small, some are large, but all require work and care. It takes land, healthy soil, the right weather, skills, labor, and resources to produce the food we eat.

These activities help children understand that effort and encourage them to take simple actions to reduce food waste and appreciate the value of food.
Available in English, Spanish, and Mayan.

“Who Decides What?” is a short, multiple-choice quiz that playfully (but truthfully) explores who holds power in areas like program design, finances, uniforms, social media… and even the menu at national camp.

This comprehensive, self-guided toolkit is designed for adult volunteers in Scouting who are committed to supporting youth leadership. It offers tools to reflect on personal attitudes, adopt inclusive facilitation practices, and engage in shared decision-making with young people in their National Scout Organization.

Scouting is full of inspiring moments where young people take the lead and make a difference. This Padlet is a space to celebrate those stories and share them with the world.

Every Scout organization has structures that shape how decisions are made. Some of these open doors for young people, while others – intentionally or not – create barriers. This space is for you to reflect, share, and reimagine.
