Scouts are Resilient

  • Resilient Youth Social Post-10
  • Resilient Youth Social Post-09
  • Resilient Youth Social Post-05
  • Resilient Youth Social Post-03
  • Resilient Youth Social Post-04
  • Resilient Youth Social Post-02

It’s official! Australian Scouts are more self-confident, better socially connected, feel good about themselves, are more positive at coping with life, and get on better with different people. They’re also proactive in dealing with their problems, and to talk with others if they’re upset, read more books for fun, and are less likely to use their devices overnight.

Research by Resilient Youth Australia has compared a national sample of Australian Scouts aged 8-18 with 110,000 of their peers. The result: Scouts generally feel more Connected, Protected and Respected. This means better mental health and a host of other advantages.
