Recommended by those responsible for this work on the importance
Scout work because it enhances self-confidence and makes a person always motivated to work and give. When the student interacts with his teachers and with age groups older than him, such as leaders, this gives him another social skill, which is respect for the elderly, especially since scout education rewards the hardworking and motivates the laggard to work. Here, the positive effect appears, as he deals with a person older than him, and the leader guides him, teaches him, and pushes him to work with kindness and firmness.
In addition, a complete life in the bosom of nature makes the human scout think about creation and the Creator, which makes him more adherent to religious values, morals and worship, and this is a positive reflection on his life.
