The Scouting program in Kosrae has seen more success than anyone could have anticipated. Along with traditional Scout skills and merit badges, the Scouts of Kosrae have been learning some important life skills.
Through the efforts of Elder and Sister Gordon Foote, the youth of the LDS Scouting program have been learning first aid skills, traditional fishing methods, and gardening. The Scouts have even established their own farm, where they are learning how to plant, cultivate and pollinate, with the absence of bees on the island.
The Scouts also put together their own personal first aid kits, with materials provided by the Aloha Council, BSA, and learned how to use them in case of emergencies. These Scouts will be awarded their Second Class rank badges at a Court of Honor in January.
