Scouts getting involved in community by Mukasa Arnold Mayombwe
Community involvement Active exploration and commitment to communities and the wider world, fostering greater appreciation and understanding between people. The term “community” refers to a social unit whose members have something in common. A Scout’s community includes those with in scouting (e.g. unit, District, country/region/state), and it could be local or international in nature. The emphasis on community involvement highlights; The shared values and principles of scouting .The application of the scout method happens mostly within the local community content. It becomes an important vehicle for increasing one’s awareness on global challenges and initiatives, for joining global action, and for assimilation / developing global shared values. The influence of the community and societies where scouts come from  in their personal  development process .Activities and the cycle  of action  and reflection enables young people  to develop a deeper understanding  of themselves  while having a meaning full contribution to the overall objectives of the community they live in. Community engagement equally allows scouts to experience and work with people from different diversities. Therefore ,working with and within  the community enables scouts to increase their inter – cultural  understanding, appreciate inter – generational issues  that come into play, and get more involved in the community in other scopes of their lives. Every learning opportunity scout undertakes should wherever possible be linked to how t could be used within the community .When a scout learns to tie a new knot like  the bowline, it should be linked on how it could be applied to saving a life .Even when a scout experiences a learning  opportunity that may  appear only to benefit one self (e.g. a sports activity), one should  also reflect how such a learning opportunity  could benefit the community (e.g. a fit and healthy scout  would be well – placed to serve the  community better).

Community involvement promotes greater cohesion and rallies each member of the community towards a common purpose of  transforming their communities for the better .It exposes more people to the values and purpose of scouting and encourages them to support  the cause of  scouting creating a better world is a journey which scouts be a collective  effort regardless of the size of the learning  opportunity scouts engage in service should not just be seen as doing things for others the element of community involvement is about helping scouts to create a better world. The focus is on active citizenship 154.226.156.90 (talk) 13:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
