Tiger Troop March 2015 Courage, determination, perseverance & achievement.

“The approach of Challenger Troop is to communicate directly with pupils to make it clear to them what they are able to achieve and to encourage them to develop self-confidence and pride in their own abilities.”

Courage – We equip young people with the life-skills to confront and deal with both the moral and physical challenges they will face in their lives.

Discipline – We train young people to obey rules and follow codes of behaviour. Our staff encourage them to be self-disciplined and to show self-control and restraint.

Respect for others – We help young people to demonstrate positive regard for each other by encouraging our participants to listen to others’ opinions, understand their feelings and appreciate other peoples’ time and personal space.

Integrity – We identify for young people the importance of trust in all aspects of their lives. Their ability to be trusted, coupled with their honesty and truthfulness, will identify them as outstanding individuals.

Loyalty – We support young people in understanding the importance of being faithful, showing attachment and understanding the emotion of affection. Together this will identify commitment to a positive lifestyle.

Selfless commitment – We identify for young people the importance of dedication to a cause or activity; focussing specifically on encouraging them to consider others before themselves.

The laws of the land – We support young people in understanding and upholding the ‘laws of the land’, helping them to achieve and maintain high personal standards.

Appropriate behaviour – We support and provide guidance for young people to behave in an exemplary manner. Inappropriate behaviour will be challenged and sanctions utilised to modify such behaviour.

Total professionalism – We model the highest standards of professionalism at all times. Young people will be encouraged to follow this lead with emphasis on dress code, avoidance of alcohol and drugs, and reinforcement of the importance of self-discipline.

Application – We encourage all young people to apply the values and standards throughout their lives at home, in school and in their communities.
