Group Introduction
to ONE Programme
Why ONE Programme?
Since the formation of Scouting Ireland all
programme materials needed to be reviewed
One Programme provides a single progressive
programme for all age ranges, meeting the
needs of young people in the modern world
It is purposely driven by the young person
and facilitated by Adult Scouters
Our Aim as a Group
The aim of Scouting Ireland is to
encourage the Physical, Intellectual,
Emotional, Social, Character and
Spiritual development of young people
so that they may achieve their full
potential and as responsible citizens, to
improve society
• If we take the first letter of each of the area of personal Growth,
we can then form a 6 letter acronym ‘SPICES’ to help us
remember
Social, Physical, Intellectual, Character,
Emotional and Spiritual
• We have a method to help us achieve our Aim, it is broken into 8
parts and we apply all parts of the method equally – it is called
The Scout Method

Ireland
Programme Cycle
ONE Programme is organised into Programme Cycles
• A Programme Cycle is a block of time during which
the youth members work towards a programme
activity or event
• Each Programme Cycle is driven by the young person
and facilitated by adults
• Young people plan it, prepare for it, carry it out and review
how it went, we refer to this as
PLAN-DO-REVIEW
Personal Progression Scheme
– To achieve the Aim of Scouting Ireland, we
encourage each young person to develop in each of
the SPICES
– Each young person is expected to gain knowledge,
skills and attitudes in each of the SPICES
– We recognise the skills, knowledge and attitudes
gained during a young person’s time in scouting as
their own personal progression

Some questions?
• Does everyone need to be re-trained? Everyone must attend the group
training day, but if someone feels they would like more training there will
be training available to support ONE programme from Sept 2010.
• When do we need to complete this? We have 3 years to complete the
transition, but we anticipate it could be done in less than that.
• How do we get the new handbooks? Each group will be entitled to
purchase their books once they have completed their training day.
• How do we get young people to be interested? By changing the style of
how we approach our scouting and encouraging young people to take
charge of their own progression.
