Behavior Expectations

At Belmont Scout Group, we believe that fostering a positive, respectful, and inclusive environment is essential to the success of our group. All Youth Members, Leaders, and Parents play a vital role in ensuring that our activities are enjoyable, safe, and productive.

Expected Behavior​

All Youth Members are expected to:

  1. Show Respect
    Respect fellow members, Leaders, and the environment. This includes respecting different opinions, personal space, and property.

  2. Follow Instructions
    Listen to and follow instructions given by Leaders during activities. This ensures the safety and enjoyment of all participants.

  3. Be a Team Player
    Work together with fellow Scouts. Scouting is built on cooperation, and being a team player helps everyone succeed.

  4. Be Honest and Trustworthy
    Honesty and integrity are core values in Scouting. Youth Members are expected to uphold these values in their actions.

  5. Take Responsibility for Actions
    Own your behavior and accept the consequences when mistakes are made. Learning from these experiences is part of personal growth.

  6. Participate Fully
    Give your best effort in all activities, engage with your fellow Scouts, and help others when possible.

  7. Look After the Environment
    Take care of the environment by leaving no trace and being mindful of waste, particularly during outdoor activities.

  8. Maintain a Positive Attitude
    Approach every activity with a positive attitude, even when challenges arise. A positive outlook helps everyone enjoy their time in Scouting.

Parents and Leaders Expectations​

  • Encouragement: We encourage parents and Leaders to support Youth Members in meeting these expectations and helping to develop their skills in communication, problem-solving, and responsibility.

  • Lead by Example: Leaders and Parents should model respectful, positive behavior to create an environment that encourages growth and cooperation.

Linked Procedure​

If expectations are not met, the Behavior Management Procedure will be applied. This procedure helps ensure that issues are addressed consistently and fairly, ensuring that Belmont Scout Group remains a positive and supportive environment for all.

By working together and upholding these behavior expectations, we can create a Scouting environment where everyone feels welcome, valued, and safe.
