FIVE FIELDS OF EMPHASIS

    Varsity Scouting has five fields of emphasis. A youth member, called a program manager, is responsible for each of the five fields of emphasis and works with adult member called a program adviser frrom the team committee to coordinate each phase of the program. The five fields of emphasis are:

    ADVANCEMENT.

       Varsity Scouts use the same advancement program as Boy Scouts. They also can earn the Varsity Letter, Varsity Pins to be worn on the Letter, Varsity Gold Bar, Denali Award and several beyond the rank awards.

    HIGH ADVENTURE/SPORTS.

        This field of emphasis includes high adventure and sports and is supported by 27 program features. It can also include Philmont, Florida Seabase, and Nothern Tier Boundry Water.

    PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.

         Varsity Scouting promotes growth through spirituality, leadership abilities, citizenship, social and cultural attributes, and physical fitness.

    SERVICE.

        The emphasis is on service, until it becomes a constant ingredient in one's daily experience. Projects are conceived, planned, managed, and carried out by individual Varsity Scouts and /or the Varsity Team. It was once said that the "service we give to others is the rent we pay for our time on earth."

     SPECIAL PROGRAMS and EVENTS.

         Varsity Scouts take an active part in special programs and events on district, council, regional, and national levels. (See events page)
