The program was an unexpected success and the number of researchers who volunteer as young volunteers reached 10,394 in 2012, in the first 10 years of the program. [10] This year, the contribution of young girl guides was recognized by the Scout Association as evidence of Parliament`s Education Committee, linked to youth services and the current ideology of big society. [11] In this paper, the Scouts supported the creation of a National Civic Service, believing that graduates of the program could try to continue to volunteer as young leaders, while describing the benefits of the program and saying, “We believe that this exposes young people to a culture of volunteerism at an early age and encourages them to play an active leadership role in their communities.” [11] Young guides are explorer scouts who choose, in addition to adult volunteers, to integrate guides into beaver scout colonies, Cub Scouts or Scout Scouts. The training of young executives is provided by eleven labeled modules covering the skills needed to play an active role in the leadership team, with members invited to apply what they have learned through four “missions” in their sections. [1] [2] The Young Guide program was born at the beginning of the 21st century of the new Explorers program for 14-18 year olds, which was officially launched in 2002 after six years of verification of the future of the youth movement and program. [5] [6] The comprehensive program was launched in 2003, which allowed Explorer Scouts and other similar personalities to volunteer with the younger sections as members of the leadership team. [7] The training was split into stand-alone modules, written for identification, in response to the update of the voluntary adult training launched in September of the same year. [8] The conclusion of the first module awarded the Young Leader the diamond-shaped badge, dark blue with a purple border and “YL” in the middle, while the end of missions putting the learned skills into practice was recognized by another trapezoid plate placed on the margins of the original distinction. [9] The completion of the full program, including all completed missions and modules, allowed the young uniformed guide to wear the belt buckle. In 2015, the more comprehensive Scout program, which included the Young Leader program, was updated with modules that received updated content and methods of making it available. [12] The design of the badges and awards has also been updated on an acorn and oak leaves to reflect the Gilwell Oak and the role of young leaders as future leaders of the movement.

[13] The Young Guide`s belt buckle was also added to the adult uniform and a badge for adult uniform was added to mark the time of a young guide when he became an adult guide. [14] There are also four missions that young executives must carry out, which include running games and activities for their relevant section. The objective of the missions is to apply what they have learned in their sections day after day, as is the validation phase of adult Scout leadership training. [32] At the end of each mission, an additional badge can be added to the edge of the standard badge for the young guide. Once all modules and assignments are completed, young executives have the right to wear a belt buckle of the young guide to enjoy this performance.
