Exploring
Exploring is a worksite-based program. It is part of Learning for Life's career education
program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20
years old.
Exploring's purpose is to provide experiences that help young people mature and to prepare
them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning
of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities.
Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations
in their communities. Local community organizations initiate a specific Explorer post by
matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community.
The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow,
and develop.
Exploring programs are based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills,
citizenship, character education, and leadership experience.
Soccer and Scouting
The Boy Scouts of America has launched its Soccer and Scouting program as an outreach to
Hispanic youth and families. Soccer and Scouting will teach soccer skills and provide
exciting competition, and at the same time boys will be Cub Scouts and learn the life-long
values taught in the Scouting program. All of the materials will be published in English
and Spanish.
Parents also get involved in our Soccer and Scouting program, as parent helpers, and as soccer coaches. Like Cub Scouting everywhere, most of the involved adults are the parents of the boys benefiting from it. In the case of Soccer and Scouting, the practices and games are usually family events, fun for everyone, and everyone learns a better way of life through Scouting.
