Hopefully this will add many more to the geo numbers in the years to come. It is my firm belief that boys or girls should be involved, as it shows them what is important in life. The Scout Motto is “Be Prepared” which could very well be any geocaches motto too.
The Scout Promise.
On my honour I promise to do my best,
to do my duty to my God and my country
to help others at all times
and to obey the Scout Law.
The Aim
The Aim of the South African Scout Association is to encourage the spiritual, mental, social and physical development of boys and girls, young men and women in achieving their full potentials as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities by: developing their character; training them in citizenship; developing their spiritual, social, mental and physical qualities
Scout Groups
The Scout Association of South Africa is made up of three branches: Cubs: boys and girls 7 till 11 years Scouts: boys and girls 11 till 18 Rovers: young men and women from 18 to 35 Scouting is run in local Scout Groups, which may be made up of units for each branch, for example, a Cub Pack, a Scout Troop and a Rover Crew. Groups are run by volunteer adult leaders as well as a parents' committee. The volunteer leaders, known as Scouters, run a programme of weekly meetings, camps, hikes and similar activities.
