attitudes, skills, and habits through outdoor,
social, service and vocational activities

• Development of good personal and public
relations.
• Undertake challenging activities and man-
size responsibilities along pathways that
make the long journey to responsible
manhood full of fun and excitement
 WHAT IS SENIOR
SCOUTING?
• Working together with other teenagers under the
guidance of an adult, called the Outfit Advisor, to
plan and carry out many exciting activities,
participating in the conduct of their own affairs,
and taking an active role in whatever, they agree
to do.

• Supported by both government and non-

government institutions and agencies that are keen
in helping the youth to develop their full personal
potential and competencies in order to cope with
present day life and to insure a happy tomorrow.

wider scope. Thus, outside of the Scout Oath and Law, a Standard
of Behavior is added, THE SENIOR SCOUT CODE.

 THE SENIOR SCOUT IDEALS
THE SENIOR SCOUT MEDALLION / EMBLEM
It represents all that Senior Scouting stands for. The red double S
letter embossed in a field of gold and represented as a winding road
leading to the distant horizon symbolizes the exciting outdoor trails
of life which a Senior Scout must take in adventure filled journey to
good citizenship. The golden field upon which the double letter S is
lain symbolizes those golden values that every Senior Scout must
strive to possess as he goes through life. The trefoil on the emblem
reminds him that, as a Senior Scout, he belongs to a world-wide
brotherhood of young people committed to a life of selfless service
to God, Country and Fellowmen.
 THE SENIOR SCOUT IDEALS
THE SENIOR SCOUT MEDALLION / EMBLEM
The double S also represents the three (3) sections of the
Senior Scout programs namely the Land, Sea and Air Scouting.
It symbolizes the pathways traveled by Land Scouts as they
wind their way through the woods. It also symbolizes the red
sails of sailboats that flaps in the wind as Sea Scouts go into
an adventurous voyage along the coast. So. too, does it
symbolizes the flight curvature of spaceships hurling into
infinity as Air Scouts set their sights on a highly challenging
odyssey into the future. The double S is represented in the
red for the courageous spirit that Senior Scouts must
exemplify on their joyful journey to a better life.
