ozemu 10 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Are any of the forum members psychologists or students in that field? The is a wealth of educational psychology material but I am not aware of any specifically on Scouting. Is there some psychological materiel somewhere in the archives of BSA?

CalicoPenn 729 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 There used to be a Division of Research in the BSA. I'm not sure it still exists. Most of their studies seemed to be geared towards sociology than psychology. Calico Link to post Share on other sites
ozemu 10 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Thanks Calico, BSA does have a research section on its www. http://www.scouting.org/media/research/ Not quite what I was looking for but pretty good nonetheless. Any other clues anyone? Maybe outside BSA? (This message has been edited by ozemu) Link to post Share on other sites
fgoodwin 23 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 WHat exactly are you looking for? Can you point to examples of other Scouting Associations that have similar material? Link to post Share on other sites
ozemu 10 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 No I can't. I'm studying psychology and can't find anything much on the university database internationally but I thought perhaps there was something in BSA that was not available to academics. Psychology is a bigger in the USA than ina other places as I understand it. So I figured there is a greater chance withing the States than in other places. I'll try WOSM too. What I'm looking for is the psychological result of the Scouting method. There is heaps on education and as far as Scouting goes there is an amount on experiential education and the effect of various outdoor activities on self esteem etc. But on Scouting and its method - nothing. Well there is one on leader training but nothing directly about youth members. Link to post Share on other sites
