Mission
Create an organization that we would be proud to have our children join. Our adopted goals for this group:
- Where all Ethical Society values and principles can live and not be compromised.
- Everyone is welcome no matter their sexual orientation, gender, or religious beliefs.
- Youth of different ages and genders get to experience together and learn to work together for a common goal.
- Exploration and learning are at the core of the program.
- The outdoors is the classroom and respect for the outdoors is demonstrated through skills that embrace a “(leave no trace)” outdoor behavioral code.
- Youth learn leadership, character, and values as part of their participation.
- Reward is perceived through the helping of others, not for personal gain.
- Youth teach youth.
- Youth hold leadership roles helping to run the program.
- Youth see “fun” as one of the main descriptors of the program.
- Is sustainable (can continue with changing leadership and levels of participation).
